does my cooler fit?

[ki8aras]

i have a dark rock pro 3 and i was thinking about buying a phanteks p400s and im wondering if my cooler will fit

 

if it doesn't, suggestions that do and have good reviews are welcome(i want to pay around 100 euros)

Max CPU Cooler is 160mm for the Phanteks P400

Dark Rock Pro 3 is 168mm

 

Nope

Based on what I see in this build, the Dark Rock 3 fits really well, making me think that the Pro may have a little room.

This guy is also using the Pro 3 with a Define R4, which I THINK is about the same size as the P400S.

You may have to remove the exhaust fan completely to fit it, but that's just a sacrifice you're going to have to take.

And besides, why do you have to have a Dark Rock Pro 3?  There are plenty of other great coolers on the market.  You could also  get a new case.  Your choice though.

You MAY be able to get away with it if you remove the exhaust fan..

Dark Rock 3 is 160mm. I wasn't going by fans, I was going by actual heatsink heights. Like you said, it could fit but it will definitely be hitting the side panel if it does.

 

The R4 supports CPU coolers up to 170mm

 

I'd get a different case, if it were my build. I have had a few Phanteks P400, they are okay, I just moved to more Fractal Design cases. Better air, imo.

How well does it fit, Frapogalo? I'm thinking about the same setup as you.
Does it touch the glass or anything?
