Fractal Design Arc Mini cooler height issue

Something Else · 25 Jul 2012 at 01:52

Fractal Design Arc Mini case is listed as taking a maximum height cpu cooler of 165mm but the cpu cooler i want is 166mm, 1mm too much!

what are the chances of it fitting if at all?

I haven't been on the forum for ages however last time I was here the Gelid was the one everyone wanted... Perhaps give that a go?

Phantecs or k2/mount doom which is currently on offer are both top notch coolers

the tranquillo is a non-factor now that ocuk stocks (or did stock ;p its out of stock atm) the true spirit 120. waaaay better performance at the same-ish price as the tranquillo (well the ts120 is actually 1 quid cheaper!)
