Anyone know if the antec kuhler 620 fits thermaltake commander ms-i? I seem to not find a way of fitting that thing in there :/

Yeah short of spinning it around a lot to see if there is an orientation that works, there isn't much you can do to force it.

You said "there are cables in the way". I don't know what cables you mean, but is it possible to relocate another component to give it enough clearance?

You'll rarely see compatibility lists from companies for these types of things because in a lot of cases it's dependant on three separate manufacturers (case, motherboard, cooler) and that's an awful lot of variables. It's a shame, but if it's possible to return the case then it might be for the best.

It's a pretty standard sized 120mm closed loop cooler, so it should be reasonably compatible with anywhere a 120mm fan fits (with a few exceptions due to the hosed section). All I found from a quick google was a comment that points out that you can't install a 240mm radiator (despite it having two 120mm fan slots in the roof).

At a glance, it looks like there are at least three viable mount points, but it's possible they are depth blocked somehow (either by your motherboard, or just by really weird design quirks).

I am pretty sure by now that it doesn't fit but I was hoping to get a special trick on how to manage. It doesn't fit the rear since it has some depth problems and since the kuhler is a bit wider than a standard fan, it doesn't fit :( Either that or on other spots there are cables on the way. Should I buy a new case or something?
