HAF 922 and Zalman CNPS 10x Extreme

Hello Toms Hardware Forums

In the near future I am going to buy a new PC with a HAF 922 case and Zalman CNPS 10x Extreme, and this is what im wondering: Will it fit ?
The case is 253mm wide and the cooler is is 165mm tall. it should be enough room, but its just that I dont know how much room will be left after the motherboard has been installed. How much room does that take ?
in case you need to know the mobo will be an Asus Crosshair IV Formula with a phenom II X4 CPU.
and as a sidenote, is the cooler gonna block any memory slots or PCI slots ? says it needs 70mm to each side from the middle of the CPU.

thank you in advance

Hi.

Don't worry about that, the mobo just add 5mm max that even is enough to fit the cooler.

I think that u can go with a 235 or 240mm cooler without problems.

^jeje if u can find a cooler of that size let me know.

Some very solid cooler are the Noctua NH-D14, Megahalems, TT Frio and Thermalright Venomous X.

@moricon
which way is the fan pointed when its blocking the memory slots ?
will it still block if its facing another way ?
also, planning on using Kingson HyperX RAM you think they will fit ? (probably 2x2 GB)

@scrice
only diff is mines 1333MHz and CL7, so dont think those will be a problem either, thanks

@moricon ah okey thx, I think itll be good
