[SOLVED] CPU cooler clearance

[rimrackjack]

Just built my PC extremely happy with it, however I want the temps to be more manageable with the cpu. My case currently is the Cylon Mini with a cpu cooler clearance of what i think is 147mm, i'm thinking of adding an AIO cooler into the case however nothing anywhere suggests the case supports it. It has 2x 120mm fan mounting options on the front of the case however would a radiator (being slightly rectangular in shape) still fit into that? (CPU cooler such as a cooler master ML120L).

main page mentions it:
Liquid Cooling
Supports liquid cooling: 120mm radiator in the front panel.

DOES NOT.

CHECK your GPU so you might end up conflicting there, as it makes 300mm clearance for gpu into, 250ish....

I did check for completed ones, but I cannot find A SINGLE THING, so I will not guarantee, anything, and I think its not possible.

Looking at all the information I think it might be a safe bet to start with getting some front mounted fans of decent quality first, and a better back fan and see how that goes, if that fails i might want to upgrade that amd stock cooler for something with a bit more power to it. Thanks for your help!

I am going to agree with Rdslw. There isn't really any information about that case fitting radiators that I could find except this one and I don't know how reliable it is: https://www.pbtech.com/product/CHAAER0004/Aerocool-Cylon-Mini-Micro-Tower-Support-MATX-MINI

If it can fit 2 120mm fans in the front that are right on top of one another, I assume i could technically "fit" a 240mm radiator but as Rdslw was saying, you might have an issue with GPU clearance as you still need mount fans to the radiator even if the radiator itself would fit.
