280mm Rad in a FD Arc Mini?

Hello there!

Fractal Design have their superb case Arc mini. That case has a 2x140 mm fan opening in the top.

Have anybody of you out there tried to put a 60 mm thick 280-rad there? I know it fits but is it possible to have a CPU-block then?

Update!

It didn't fit! But I bought a Arc Midi and I was able to fit a Magicool 280 rad in the top.

My memorymodules had coolingfiins on them but they could be left on.

So I really recommend the Fractal Design Arc Midi for watercoolers.

I've had a look at some pics and it seems you can have a thick rad at the top, but no fans and cool everything fine

Sorry to re-ignite an older thread but just to clarify - does this mean that an XSPC EX240 will fit WITH fans in the top of a FD Arc Mini fine?

Whereas, the RX240 would not fit with fans? Ie. Passive?

Thanks
