Would h50 fit in this case?

I am wondering if the h50 would fit in this?

I have used this case before and think would maybe fit, anyone tried?

h50 ? :S

I do not think it would. The space needed around the 120mm exhaust hole does not seem a lot and the radiator needs some space.

i think it would but would need a small PSU and sacrifice of 5.25 drive space

I thought about where that 120mm fan is the only reason why the radaitor wouldnt fit is because that bar thats there. if i could possible attach the radiator without the screws it would work but yeh

I once overclocked a e5200 to 3,4 stable and that was on stock cooler in that case, although i did install a 80mm fan right at front pusshing air out

I have one of those cases lying around and i don't believe that the H50 would fit. Space is pretty tight around that fan and the rad is bigger than the fan. That case does get rather hot as well.

whats best cooler you think would fit?

pastymuncher · 14 Mar 2010 at 14:47

Air coolers sre severely limited in height due to the construction of the case and airflow is poor anyway. This is the main reason i stopped using mine.

timmymeuk1 · 14 Mar 2010 at 17:46

can you measure how big the cpu cooler could be please? lol ive only ever had the stock cpu cooler on. i know its restricted by the back panel height, is it possible to install one once the motherboard is put in?

pastymuncher · 14 Mar 2010 at 19:01

The cooler has to be installed before the motherboard tray is slid in otherwise there is no chance of getting one in the case let alone fitted. The stock Intel and AMD coolers are the biggest that will fit that case due to the divider between the top and bottom sections.

It isn't the size of the cpu cooler you have to worry about, it's the radiator.
It's at least a cm or so bigger at the top & bottom of a 120mm fan, and by the looks of that case, it won't fit.

timmymeuk1 · 14 Mar 2010 at 19:41

What is the best cooler that i can buy thats fits in that then? lol was hoping the h50 would, would be nice and small

Don't see why not, I put a Swiftech H20 120 Compact Kit water cooling kit in one 3 years ago

Well, "in" is a bit of a stretch, but it was neat enough
