Will a Dark rock Pro 3 fit in my case with these components VVVV

Kriilus · Jul 27, 2016

I need to know if a Dark rock pro 3 CPU cooler fits in a Corsair Carbide 400c case with a Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO Motherboard and Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB). I don't even know if it fits in my case that i'm going to be using as i don't know how far the cooler comes off the motherboard. I was going for a liquid cooler but i changed my mind quite fast as it could leak and break everything in the case which made me very anxious. If this doesn't fit could you maybe give me some alternatives to this cooler (being around the same price) preferably not a liquid cooler.

Thanks!

http://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/482 (see the "Technical Data" tab) - cooler is 163mm tall
http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbide-series-clear-400c-compact-mid-tower-case ("Tech Specs" tab) - case supports cpu coolers up to 170mm tall
That will fit fine.

Thanks bro, but will it be ok for width, will it overlap the ram or will it be all good? Also the motherboard has a shroud covering the back plate and it takes up a lot of room.

It might overlap the ram area somewhat, but I looked up Corsair Vengeance LPX ram. It comes with very short heatspreaders, so it's not likely to interfere.

Sounds good! Thanks for the help man, very much appreciated. I was planning on building my PC, it's my first time building one and i'm unsure to either get someone to do it for me or do it myself... If you recommend someone building it for me would you by any chance know of any websites that do 100% custom builds were you send them your parts and they build it.
