Hi,
Does a Phanteks PH-TC14CS mounted on a Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3 fit in an Antec Performance One P100? The cooler blows up, so I don't know if the airflow will be okay?
 
Solution
The Phanteks CPU cooler should fit in the Antec case OK, as the case is wide enough.

The Phantek fans will blow air to the side of the case, which would be about 20 mm or so away from the fan, depending on what motherboard standoffs are used. So, there will be some restriction to the airflow, as the air should ideally flow freely without anything in its path. Can't say what effect this will have, if any, on cooling efficiency of the Phanteks cooler though.
