cpu cooler Nzxt kraken x41 interference?

[Walt]

Hi everyone,

I'm building a game pc and need help. I have chosen all my components and I'm stuck at the cpu cooler. First I was planning on choosing the nzxt kraken x41 but I don't know if it wil fit in my case without interfering with the motherboard. Can someone tell me if it will fit? 

Case: nzxt h440 RAZER edition 

Motherboard: asus ROG strix Z270F

 

thanks!

I'm guessing you want to use it as exhaust?

Shouldn't be a problem at all.

 

Which CPU do you have?

My cpu is an intel core i5 7600K. I was planning on putting it on the back/rear. But that needs to be an intake fan right?

Please explain.

 

Are you planning to use the back of the case as intake?

That's completely fine!

 

You usually put a single radiator AIO, such as the x41 in the back.

Basically replacing the stock fan that came with the case.

Intake:

Front, sidepanel (rarely) and bottom (rarely)

 

Exhaust:

Top and back

 

You could absolutely use it at the top, though I don't know if it's necessairy. Look at this one:
