Can you fit the Phantek PH-TC14PE in Corsair 300R?

JPower83 · May 29, 2014

I have both the components listed above and was wondering if anyone has experience of fitting the cooler into this case as it looks/feels like it will be tight?

My RAM is Hyperx genesis 2x4gb and my motherboard is the ASRock Z97 Extreme 6.

I really dont want to have to return either if I can help it!

many thanks

i don't think this will fit. all 14cm coolers fit on full tower desing.

Oh, I just found this http://www.overclock.net/t/1119694/official-corsair-carbide-series-200r-300r-400r-500r-owners-club/3230 where someone shows it inside a corsair 200R, surely the 300R is larger?

Maximum CPU Cooler Height 170mm

Heatsink Dimensions with Dual Fans 159 x 140 x 171mm (LxWxH)

http://www.phanteks.com/PH-TC14PE.html

Conclusion: That's 1mm too much so it may or may not fit; It's going to be very close at best.

EDIT:

Maximum CPU Cooler Height 165mm

If it fits that case, it should fit the 300R as well.

Hmm this should be fun! If not I may have a 300R case to sell because the cooler is going nowhere

Can I mount the cooler so the fans face up or must they be vertical?

Cheers

JPower83 :

I'm fairly certain you can mount it both ways:

The SoliSku universal mounting kit provides an easy-to-install rotational backplate for Intel LGA 2011/1155/1156/11366/775.

(Source: Phanteks site linked earlier)

Note that this may actually make the airflow worse and it might not even fit your case that way.

Wish I had got a bigger case now

but alas I'm going to give it a go and hope it all just works!

Thanks for the help

No problem, I hope it works out as planned

FITS! (just) but it's just about touching the Perspex window and I'm yet to turn it all on so I'm wondering if I'm going to have vibration issues.

JPower83 · May 30, 2014

just realised how wrong that all sounds !!!

:lol:

Good to know it works to a degree.
