According to NZXT's site and various other sources, the Kraken x41 can fit in the Phantom 410. However, I can't seem to find where it can go. I've tried fitting it in both of the 140mm mounts on the top of the case and on the front of the case, but it will not fit either way.

I bought the 410 after realising the X41 would not fit in my Fractal R3. NZXT state, "The Kraken x40 and x41s will fit into the case without any problems at all." I tried and failed. No matter what fans you remove, which way you try to fit the X41, it will not fit. I posted a comment on the NZXT site about this and it is still "awaiting approval", and that was 9 days ago. Way to go NZXT! I now have a Fractal R4 with the X41 fitted on the rear. My brief interlude with the 410 was both frustrating and disappointing, and my experience with NZXT customer services is best described as mediocre. As a cooler, the X41 is awesome.

In the below picture, the rad is pushed to the rear as far as it will go and the rad is pushed to the left...

In the below picture, the rad is pushed to the rear as far as it will go and the rad is pushed to the left so you see where the corresponding hole on the case is and the distance from each. Unless you are happy with making new holes in your case then it will not fit in the pre drilled ones.

Can you tell me what temps you're getting with your x41? I'm getting about 40 idle with a i7 4790k @ 4.5 1.250v

I am only running an AMD Phenom 2 X4 965 (not overclocked) and it idles around 33. I have replaced the fan for an Akasa 140mm Apache black as it is quieter and has better static pressure. Do you have the fan as push or pull?
