They are case fans mate and are not suitable for rads or restricted places, you need Static Pressure fans like these Noctuas now i have not tried them all but found these to be much better than the Corsair SP120 fans, they much quieter and do a good job of cooling, a lot depends on the radiator to, more FPI then the more RPM's you tend to need, lower FPI then you can get away with slower fans with lower SP, best bet it to start a new thread in the water cooling section and get better advice, stock fan are ok but the tend to be loud, but they do the job

Just got my case today and OMG what a piece of art it is, I'll put some pics up when I get all sorted. Under a ton for this quality is unreal.

You've asked about 12 times, we don't know. Only way to find out is to try.
I THINK 30-40mm is the max, if it was me i would stick a 60mm or 85mm 360 rad in the front and be done with it.
The only things stopping me from getting one of these is i can't use my Monsoon bayres/pump... and i've not long switched to a mATX.

Probably not. Mine is 38mm and it just about hangs over the mobo near the memory with the fans on.

Thanks for that it's very helpful I've got the swiftech h320 and it's 38.9mm thick but I did not even attempt to fit it on topProbably not. Mine is 38mm and it just about hangs over the mobo near the memory with the fans on.

Hmm, pushed back again since I last checked for the black and red version. 9th of May now, almost tempted to get it from those other fellers. You know, the German Kaisers of Cases.

So glad I hung around waiting for the delayed UK shipment, especially as I was close to caving and just going with an alternative.. mostly because I was sick of looking at this!
It was the first new build I'd worked on in around 10 years, so I was well impressed how much easier cases etc are to work on these days. Here's my beast in his new home!
I think the only thing that bugs me a bit is the PSU cables for the GFX card, they're not the easiest to work with and look a bit messy.
Still, I'm the proud owner of this bad boy now!
Meaning I built a Mac and got a free gaming PC!

I know that feel. I'm still waiting on the Black/Red

Got a custom loop to build too with acrylic and just want to get dug in.

This case looks quality defiantly my next case, if they are ever available.
White stock is scarce at the moment. we have no firm eta
Black stock is on its way here but VERY limited. we are expecting it any day now.
I have set both of the skus to pre order format for the time being.
I'm going to have to be blunt, we only use Pre Orders for a reason. The supply of this case is far outweighed by the demand. If you want one, please make sure you pre order to secure your case.
We have in excess of 80 Pre orders already for the black version and the H440 in general has now taken our record for most pre ordered case ever at OcUK.
There will be some free stock of Black cases but I can't imagine them hanging around for long.

The only thing that NZXT botheres me is their plastic panels
Although their design is really nice, I simply can't stand the longevity of those plastic panels.
My old Phantom 410 have cracks all over them with just 1 year of use..

Well I pre ordered on the 22nd of Feb so I'm guessing I'll get my hands on one. I was just wanting to know if It was pushed back again or not. If they will be arriving any day then that seems like the black ones could be delivered earlier than the 9th?
