Doing a bit of research which may lead into a purchase, any info on whether

fits into a

without any problems?

Any other reccommendations for case/cooler on a similar price point?

Thanks

It should fit going by the dimensions in the product description.

At worst you might need to remove one of the side intake fans for it to fit.

Was kind of hoping not to have to change anything on the case :cool:

I've read it's a very tall cooler so need to know for sure - nobody worked with both of these together?

I have the same case and use the Gelid Tranquilio for cooling. It fits neatly, no problems at all and is a mere 5 mm lower, so the Prolimatech should not be a bother to fit.

So you didnt have to remove any fans / change the case? I don't think that case has any fans on the side panel but not 100% :cool:

No, all the fans that come with the case can safely stay on and you are able to fit a few custom ones as well.

From what I can see, the major difference between the dimensions of the Gelid and yours would be the width, but I had a lot of space spare in that seeing that the Tranquilio is quite narrow to begin with.

I would be shocked if you had to make any modifications to fit your cooler, just see nothing in the specifications that would lead me to believe otherwise.
