CM storm stryker with Kraken X62

[Youri85]

Atm i have a CM Storm Stryker and planning to buy the MSI Z270 gaming pro carbon motherboard and NZXT Kraken X62, but I'm really unsure if that will fit in the case with that motherboard.

some sites say the X62 will fit in the Storm Stryker and others say the case can't even handle 280mm AIO coolers and the maximum size is 240mm. So can annoying put my mind to ease and tell me the X62 will fit in there or should I go for the Kraken X52.
(also found some posts of this combination with the X61 but the X62 seems to be a bit bigger)

This is an extremely tricky question.
Visually they're like identical.
But they're only 4mm difference in length it seems.
NZXT says the x62 is 315mm long, and a review website measures the X61 at actually being 311mm long.

I wanna say the x62 should fit, but if you've read a site where someone just wasn't able to get an x62 to fit in the top mount than it's possible that 4mm difference matters.

The case seems to be designed to only support 240mm radiators though possibly.

The case will fit any ATX format motherboard as well.
