Hi all :)

Just a quick question, I want a Mini ITX build with the CPU air cooled, if I look at CM NR200 Specs it only allows for up to 155mm space in height but in the photo it seems they used a Hyper 212 Air Cooler which is 158.8mm in height, any idea if this air cooler would actually fit?

My first choice would've been the dark rock 4 but it is about the same height as the Hyper 212 and not sure if either of them will work..

Thanks in advance!

Solution
I'd say you should stick to the Hyper 212 Black Edition or get an AIO since it seems that the Be Quiet! is a mm taller than the Hyper 212 BE and wider. You could conversely look into these builds for inspiration into what coolers you can work with in that case.
