How low is this? would it fit under a Noctua dh-n14?

Not sure how high the noctua sits off the cpu, but once the RAM is plugged into the socket, it only has less than an inch sticking out. So if the noctua can clear at least an inch from the the socket, it should fit.

I have a corsair h110 sitting in there no problem. Its a little bit tight but it fits snug and hides nicely. If your going to install a 280mm radiator make sure you install the motherboard and the processor first and then install the fans on the radiator and then install the radiator (with fans attached) into your case and hook it all up. You should be good.

Noooooooo, maybe if the side panel was exposed. This things height would be nearly the height of the x51 case if it was sitting flat. Its not super tall, but it is wide. Wide enough that I had to take empty out the nearest RAM slot closest to the CPU just to install it. I have a Thermaltake A30, and it doesn't fit with the Power Supply directly above the CPU. There was about half an inch of a gap I couldn't clear. I ended up punching out a window on the side and got a Corsair H60 instead.

I agree with T Berke. I have the Coolermaster Hyper212+ CPU cooler installed in my case (which is about 1.5 inches shorter than the V8) with plenty of head-room between the top of the CPU cooler and the case's side panel. Im pretty sure you'll be fine fitting that cooler in the case.

Hello,The V8 GTS height should not be a problem with that case. However, please take care in picking your motherboard and RAM when it comes to clearance. Some RAM and motherboard heatsinks may pose problems if not researched carefully. I hope this helps.

Included fan is indeed low profile, you will have no issues. The thing is tiny

If you are talking about the Fractal Design Define R4, it's compatible with a heat sink of 170mm in height (when no fan is installed on the side panel). Here is the dimensions of the HeatSink 134 x 140 x 160 mm (without fan) 159 x 140 x 171 mm (with Dual Fans). So in my opinion I think it's going to be a little bit of a tight fit, you will also need low profile ram too otherwise the cooler won't fit (well that's what happened to me). If I were you I'd look at other heatsinks first and consider this one as a back up.

Hi! you can buy without any problems ihual thought I would problem and it was not, there is enough space to install my Noctua NH-U12 S first and then the 4 slot memory slot that is closer to my Noctua NH-U12 S is separated to 1 cm, should not be a concern I recommend this product, I used to use the hyper 212 and could not use the slot A1 for example, the problem with this term, I hope my answer serves to make a decision.

Newegg shows the dimensions for this case as 19.10" x 8.19" x 18.19". That's about .5" less width than my Cooler Master HAF XM (can't say enough good things about this case). Even with the side case fan you should still have just enough clearance to use the Noctua heatsink with both fans. Check the Newegg feedback before buying. There are simply way too many users complaining of the cheap quality fans being noisy and failing in the Black Widow case to be coincidence. So maybe consider a more reliable case? I hope this helps. Good luck!

My own opinion mind you,... the NH-U14S is designed to conform to a 140mm fan. If the fans you reference are 120mm, then I wouldn't expect it to make do. Otherwise, replacing it with another 140mm silent fan is dependent on whether or not the fasteners that attach it to the heat sink fit the fan.The Noctua fans are decently efficient and quiet. Curious as to why you would want to substitute. Color scheme maybe? It is best you email Noctua support for their input.

I use Corsair RAM in the same size range and does fit underneath this huge fan. Should not be a problem.

The noctua fan is 140mm. The corsair sp is a 120 mm fan. i do not know the width for each fan. The noctua uses a clip system to hold the fan on to the cpu cooler. You would have to bend the clip to make it fit. Bending the clip might break it or weaken the clip. I would not trust it. The fastening clip is the issue with me. No, I would not recommended it.

It may fix. I got a 750w 80 plus gold and I had to cut one of the hard drive bay to make it fit. The case is very practical in space and good looking. For fans, get the noctua fans or better. Watch for how big the heatsick is. I can't overstate about planning to manage the space and cables on this case.

In short, Yes. The Noctua NH-U14S provides compatibility hardware for Sockets LGA2011, LGA115X(1150-1155-1156), AMD2+, AMD3+, Fm1, FM2. It includes an installation kit for an optional second fan, low noise adaptor(LNA), and excellent thermal compound. Even includes a long access screwdriver. Well thought out product from engineering to delivery.

Should be able to without an issue. I put the Noctua NH-U14S in there and it is listed as bigger specs than the NH-D14 on the Noctua website.

I recommend noctua quiet series fans (the newest ones) in a pull configuration. The have a 140mm fan in the back in a push configuration. Make sure you have an aftermarket CPU cooler
