Can the EKWB Predator 240 fit in the top of Phanteks P400/P400S?

I'm thinking on getting the P400S but I'm not sure if my Predator 240 can fit in the top. I'm going to put HDDs in the front so that's not an option. I know the fan mounts a offset but is it enought for the radiator to not interfer with MB heatsinks, RAM and whatnot. Any info would be appreciated.

From what I see on the pictures it should fit. Also on official case website it's saying that you can mount 360mm rad in front. But that's without HDD cages.

Then it says it also support 280mm in front without any warning that you should remove HDD cage to get that ability. 

 

So I would say that you can fit 240mm in that case, and also use HDD tray.

I believe you should be able to mount any 240mm RAD at the top so long as youre using low profile memory (though the predator is VERY thick). @Zusafek should be able to confirm this since he owns both TG and non TG versions of this case.

I know flat out you can put the 240 mm radiator in the front of the P400 and not have it interfere with the hdd cage at all. As for the top, it would be a right fit as you would have to pay attention to the clearance of the ram modules as well as any heat spreaders on your chosen motherboard. Here are pics of my P400S acrylic window and my wife's P400 Tempered Glass. As well as a pic showing the clearance in the top of the case.

Awesome thanks for the pics. Is it possible I could get some pics shot from above through the fan mounts so I can get an idea on how far out heatsinks and RAM would stick?

Give me some time and I will get the pics. I'm at work at the moment.
