[SOLVED] Height of an air cooler

[CHOCO_with_NUTS]

Will Deepcool Gammaxx 400 EX air cooler fit my Rakk Kisig case? The case has 155 MM cooler height allowance and the Deepcool Gammaxx 400 EX height is 157.5 MM

Answers will be greatly appreciated.

Seems obvious that the cooler it 2.5mm too large. While you could probably bend the case, it could also put too much pressure on your CPU/Motherboard and cause damage. I wouldn't do it.

Sometimes case manufacturers are conservative with their cooler height figures. This may mean that your cooler will actually fit despite being slightly too tall.

However it is also likely that the cooler will not fit. Taking the side panel off may allow it to fit.

I have this cooler and I had the exact problem. You can remove the plastic cover at the top of the cooler by unscrewing the two allen screws and save yourself approx. 2mm. The cover is purely for looks and this was the difference for me between the side panel fitting and not fitting.
