Cooler Master Scout

Hey im getting the cooler master storm scout.

I was looking at either the Corair H70 or the Noctua NH14 for a cooler.

My question is will the Noctua fit in the case

The link below says that the maximum height of CPU coolers is 185mm, this is reduced to 165mm if you install a fan in the side panel.

Apparently the Noctua NH-D14 is only 160mm in height.

Should be fine. I have a Zalman CNPS 10X Flex in mine which is 151mm high and i have 25mm left between the top of the cooler and the side panel.

sorry to revive this old thread, I thought I should add that it fits fine with LGA1155/6 socket. but my old LGA 775 socket didn't allow me to have the top exhaust fan installed as the CPU socket is higher up on the LGA 775 sockets!
