Hey guys, I'm building a new computer soon, and I'm currently looking at the new NZXT case. I really like the simple aesthetics and the fact it dampens the sounds is perfect because I wanted to get the Thermalright Silver Arrow Extreme, which I read may be a little bit noisy.
My doubt at the moment is if the Silver Arrow Extreme will fit this case. Can anyone help me out?
If not, I think I'll go back to my previous option and get the NZXT Phantom.
Which one would you advice for overclocking? I've read that both offer good airflow but I would love to ear more expert opinions.
Thanks!

Hi necrohexel
The max cpu cooler height of your case is 180mm
The Silver arrow extreme is 175mm high so it will fit
may i recommend a single tower heatsink that will fit into your case and is comparable to the silver arrow and the nhd14 in performance
but is only a single tower heatsink and will not interfere with your ram it stands 166mm tall and is quiet ,

Awesome thank you.
I didn't actually knew that cooler. Reading some stuff and it seems it delivers a very good value performance.
I still think the Extreme version of the silver arrow goes ahead of the other lot, but that one just replaced the DH-14 as my second choice, thanks!
