Radiator size

[baloonis]

Greetings. I have the CoolerMaster Mastercase Pro 5 case and I am looking to install a liquid cooler on its' TOP cover.

 

I see from the manufacturer's site (http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/mastercase-pro-5/) that it can hold a 240mm radiator on the top, but when I look at the cooling support I see it can hold 2 X 140 mm fans on the top.

 

2 X 140 mm = 280 mm, so it should be able to hold a 280mm radiator, right? Does anyone know why it sais it can hold a 240mm?

 

Thank you.

Probably to keep clearance for your motherboard and RAM. if you install a 240mm rad it will probably be placed more to the outside of  the case, so you keep room at the mobo tray.

Thank you for your reply.

 

So, I cannot install a 280mm radiator I guess? I was thinking of getting the kraken X61
