How can i get my CPU cooler to fit?

appleman634 · Jun 16, 2014

I bought a new cpu cooler the DeepCool Gammaxx 400, i just installed it but i cant get my case to close because of the copper tubes protruding from the top, is there a way to safely bend these or trim them so they will fit?

heres the CPU cooler so you can see what i mean:

The cooler is 159mm high

It's time to get another case too.

I cant find the model but the make is Winser, i got it in china, the dimensions are W180mm H41mm0 L410mm

is there really no way to bend those copper tubes?

I wouldn't try it. There's a liquid in those pipes,when they tear/break open you'll loose that liquid and the cooler will be useless.

well i've heard of some people bending the heatpipes but not just the tips. This wouldn't really be an issue if i wasnt moving countries

At only 180 wide, I'm pretty sure its too small. So get another case or swap the cooler for something that will fit. If 159mm won't fit, what will?

Hi appleman634
Perhaps a smaller cooler , this one is only 130mm tall and fits most amd and intel sockets , what is your board ?

its either that or leave the sidepanel off your case or as vic 40 suggests get a new case

Is there the possibility to swap the cooler for another one?

Vic 40 :
