I've got my first build almost lined up and ready to purchase, currently I'm going through each product and making certain it's what I want and will fit with the relevant parts.

Currently I'm looking at this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1J5Y0

The case comes with 4 fans, 7 total fan slots. I picked out 3 more 200mm x2 and 140mm, because you can't have too many fans right?

Long story short the reviews mentioning using a 200mm for the side say that a Hyper 212 will not fit.

But the specs of the case say max heatsink size is 150mm/180mm(side fan on / off)

Yet the H212 is 80mm tall, and the NH-D14 is 140mm tall.


...? According to the specs both should fit with a side mounted 200mm, unless I'm reading something wrong? Help please!

This is the Case
