Hey everyone so i was wondering if anyone has this case the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO and if so have you managed to fit a Noctua NH-d15/14 or a phantek ph-tc14pe with 200mm fan at the top of the case?
 
Solution
I don't have that case, but from CM website I know all those coolers may not fit in the case with the 200mm case fan at the top, because the case can support the CPU coolers up to 180mm tall, http://www.coolermaster.com/case/lan-box-haf-series/haf-xb-evo/ and the phantek ph-tc14pe is 171mm height, and Noctua NH-d15/14 is about 165mm/160mm height. And most 200mm case fan has 30mm size, and the slim type 20mm.
So it you get the NH-D14 and the slim 200mm fan like this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17424/fan-1137/Aerocool_Silent_Master_200mm_x_20mm_Ultra_Thin_Fan_-_Red_LED.html?gclid=CPPg5e_59rkCFQie4AoddS4ATA#blank then they may fit because the total is 160mm (cooler) +20mm (fan)=180mm. But I will make it a question mark.

And I recommend to buy the 140mm slim one ( it is15mm tall) with NHD14, like Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm Case Fan http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608044 and they will fit.
