Hello, Buying myself the Phanteks Eclipse P400 Air DRGB today, want to get the DRP 4 also, I have the TEAM GROUP XTREEM "EDITION" 32GB (4X8GB) with a B450 mortar max, does anyone knows if I'll be able to front intake to rear exhaust with this setup? Thank you muchly.
 
A fair amount Of Thermalright coolers will fit in your case & do a decent job of cooling. Ram clearance shouldn't be a problem. I have a thermalright CPU cooler & it is up to the task of cooling a R5 3600 at full load for hours.

I'll have a look now, I've just thrown a spanner in the works for me, I've managed to find a Phanteks p600s for £116, free delivery too, seems too good not to be true that price?
 
A much better case & you should be able to fit the BQ cooler in there if you can get round the ram clearance issue.

Thank you, so I've ordered the p600s in grey/black, should be here by Friday next week, plenty of time to research a CPU cooler :)

I've just built a new PC in a P600S with the Noctua NH-D15 and the Xtreem 8Pack RAM, it all fits as long as you just use the middle fan only on the CPU cooler :)
 
If you want a large tower cooler that has a better chance of ram clearance look at the Noctua D15S (single fan version)

You'll have to put up with poo brown fan though unless you're feeling flush and replace with Chromax version

I sold mine on here recently and replaced with a DRPro4 though, looks much better, quieter even with two fans but the Noctua is much easier to install and has better clearance

Thanks for that mate, how did you figure out what will fit? I'm liking the look of the black noctua fan.

I just looked at the specs on Phanteks website, saw that the Noctua would fit, the ram does also fit with the 2nd fan in place, you have to raise it up but it just fits in the case, the only reason I removed it was that it caused some weird vibrations through my desk, I may try again at some point but for now it's fine :)
