I've measured inside of my case and found that the monstrous H240-X should clear my RAM (Corsair Vengeance DDR3, 2 DIMMS) which is on an MSI-Z77A GD65 Gaming. I'm not 100% confident in the dimensions I got so I'd appreciate it if y'all could help me out as to fitting it in.

As mentioned in the title the case is a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 and the cooler in question is the Swiftech H240-X

The Midi R2 is a bit bigger than Mini R2....

Just look for case dimensions in specification....

Thanks for the answer. I found a video of someone installing it in an Arc Mini. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VasAUwZYguY), does the mini somehow have better clearance?

I had figured as much, what with the mid and the min. I appreciate your help but I think if I switch my RAM heatsinks to some lower profile custom ones I should have plenty of clearance. If not, I'm out a few bucks.

I've found confirmation that it'll fit in. I think part picker just didn't list it due to its esoteric nature. Its cousin, the 220-X, was in that compatibility list and that has practically the same height. The midi supports a 280mm radiator up top too.
