Hardware Installation and Clearance Compatibility

Front mounted radiator:

• 120/140/240/280/360mm radiator support
• 280/360mm radiator support requires removal of 5.25″ drive bay cage.
• Individual 3.5″ HDD cages removable depending on radiator thickness/length

Rear Radiator:

• Rear 120 radiators supported

Top Radiator:

• 120/240/360 mm radiators supported
• 360mm radiators support requires the removal of the 5.25″drive bay cage
• There is 38mm of clearance from the roof of the top panel until the roof of the chassis metal frame begins
• The 120/240mm mounting is offset to allow for extra motherboard clearance

Video Card clearance:

• There is 280mm clearance when a HDD cage is installed
• There is 425mm total clearance when the HDD cage is removed

CPU Tower coolers:

• CPU heatsink height clearance is generous and was able to fit the 165mm tall NH-D15S.
• Large CPU backplate cutout

3.5″ HDD installation:

• Very versatile 3.5″ mounting cage. Each can be individually removed and are secured by three thumbscrews each
• Each 3.5″ HDD cage can also support two 2.5″ drives
• 90-degree SATA cable unusable because the center thumbscrews are on the way. Users must plug-in a straight angle SATA cable instead.

5.25″ installation:

• Drive bay cage can be removed entirely to make way for additional radiator clearance, additional fan mounting or 3.5″ drive cage position.

2.5″ installation:

• Two can be installed behind the motherboard tray
• Two can be installed inside each 3.5″ HDD cage (one on top and one upside down)

Cable management:

• There is no shortage of cable management options behind the motherboard tray
• The entire top and bottom area is open so cables can freely pass through.
• There is 25mm of space behind the motherboard tray for cable storage
