Hi,

I can't seem to find anywhere the actual measurement for maximum cpu cooler height in the ZALMAN Z11 Plus HF1, just "This case has room for big coolers." Unfortunately for me, I would like to know the exact height, so that I can fit in a powerful cpu cooler into what seems to be a case with amazing ventilation without running into the side window.

What is the maximum CPU cooler clearance in the ZALMAN Z11 Plus HF1 case in millimeters?

Let’s lay this case down and look at the clearances. Here you can see that this 200 mm case will fit a NH-D14 with room to spare. So if there were a version of this case with a flat side panel, it would hold a D14 or any other full tower. To fit an Archon or other oversize heatsink you will need the bowed panel.

Now, the NH D14 is a BIG cooler, it's 160mm tall, and it's clear the case can accommodate it. Unfortunately I looked up several reviews and the official site and for some reason the precise max cooler clearance isn't mentioned.
