Hey all,
I'm currently building a pc, now just buying all the parts for it. For starters I'm in Australia, so I guess there will be some differences. I currently am waiting on my case and cpu cooler from one store, as I have everything else. I'm going with a phanteks p400s tempered glass which has a cooler clearance of 160mm (don't know if that includes the motherboard) I'm getting these parts form PCCG: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/33457/cryorig-h7-cpu-cooler/ however....... Sadly the ETA on the CPU has been pushed to the 31/3 (before being 21/3) problem is I really liked the cooler, it matched, clearance was perfect and I even bought a thermaltake riing silent 120mm red led fan to swap with the stock fan. As this is going to delay my build a lot, I need to change the cpu cooler, however I can't seem to find one. I'm looking at one that is under the height clearance, has a removable fan so I can put the fan I bought, and at least match the colour scheme = black, red accents of silver.

Thanks for any help.

The H5 includes a 140mm PWM fan in it. However, yes, you can swap that with a smaller 120mm of your own as the H5 includes fan clips for 120mm-sized fans. From Cryorig H5 Installation guide (http://www.cryorig.com/inst_guide_dl.php?id=11):

"The H5 will only fit square fans of 120mm diameter ( 25.4mm and 13mm thickness ) or round framed fans of 140mm diameter ( 25.4mm and 13mm thickness )."
You can get the larger version, the Cryorig H5 Ultimate (http://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/Ztp323/cryorig-cpu-cooler-h5ultimate). It's 160mm and should still be compatible with the P400S Tempered:

Alternatively, for a lower price (and performance), you can get the Thermaltake Riing Silent 12 Red CPU Cooler (http://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/3HGj4D/thermaltake-riing-silent-12-red-530-cfm-cpu-cooler-cl-p022-al12re-a)

Would I be able to swap the stock cooler on the h5 with my own 120mm fan?
