Question Did Coolersmaster lie on their product page??

[DaronMal]

I'm moving my stuff to a new case (Coolersmaster Masterbox MB511 ARGB) and the biggest issue with mid tower cases (and the reason I despise them) happened, the AIO I use (Corsair h115i Pro) doesn't fit in the case with my motherboad (ROG Maximus XI Hero.)

Ive tried putting in the mother board first, but the AIO doesn't fit. I tried putting in the AIO first and the motherboard doesn't fit.

I really don't want to mount the AIO in the front, it seems like Coolersmaster has basically screwed me.

It seems to me like I either have to mount the AIO hot rod style sticking out the top, mount it in the front, or move my stuff back to my old case?

Did you check the specs before ordering?
https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mid-tower/masterbox-mb511-argb-2021/#specifications

Radiator Support - Top

120mm, 240mm, 360mm, (44mm max motherboard component height)

No 280mm support in sight.

Radiator Support - Front

120mm, 140mm, 240mm, 280mm, 360mm, (75mm clearance)

It's here, with 75mm of clearance for 360mm models.

It seems that they can't test all motherboard + AIO combinations.

it does say 75mm clearance for rad+fans at top

now your rad+fans are 54mm, which leaves 21mm for your mainboard

ive had same issue with different case, but ive managed to force it there

According to Cooler Master's technical specifications for that particular case, I saw this:

Radiator Support - Top

120mm, 240mm, 360mm, (44mm max motherboard component height)

In this case, max motherboard component height means is that water cooling radiators can't be placed on the top of the case if there are motherboard components (motherboard heatsink positioned on top) taller than 44mm where it would be mounted. Your AIO is also 280mm so it won't be supported by that case. Doing more research before buying a case goes a long way.

you could try different fan, NF-A12x15 would give you extra 1cm for your mainboard
