I'm actually about to use the same setup. According to NZXT's site, the X60 is compatible with the 530, though in push pull I couldn't be sure. Not like it would hurt to bad to remove the fans from the case and just use the X60.

Well.. i did some measurements.. the Phantom 530 does not come included with fans on top.... spacing was coming to about around 30 mm from mobo to topside of the case... but i did it with with my existing setup so it may be not that accurate....

point is the rad of x60 is itself 27 mm in depth... that leaves very less space for fans... :(

Hello Hemant,


Yes, you can install the Kraken X60 the way you want into the case.

The case has the ample room to do a push/ pull config with most water cooling setups.


Sincerely,


NZXT Support.

Hi,

I have a Intel 4770K, Asus Z87 sabertooth build inside by newly bought phantom 530 case.

I wanted to go for liquid cooling and was really eyeing the Kraken x60 aio cooler.

However i want to know whether it can fit the X60 with radiator on top side of my phantom 530 case in a push / pull configuration (with 4 fans)?

Please do revert.

In anticipation..

Thanks and regards,
Hemant

I was actually looking around online about this, had forgotten about this thread, but from what a lot of people had said due to the rad thickness a Push pull configuration isn't needed. What i plan to do now is replace the stock fans with a pair of Noctua NF-A14 PWM as the fans were the biggest complaints.

Errmm.. Wouldn't the AF-15 be better for the heatsink instead of A-14?
Found this in Reference...

Just a suggestion for you...

hey, you have an update about push/pull config using 530?, mine wasn't able to fit the nzxt pwm stock fan and the radiator inside the case because the heatsink of my msi z87-g45 gaming is blocking it... i wish there where people using phantom 530 that able to push/pull config with nzxt x60..
