I want to buy a new cooler for my cpu a the one i want is 145 mm long. My case is 178 mm wide but i cant finde the maximum cpu cooler lenght for my case because its made by a small company in my country and there is no information about it on their site. So what do you think will the cooler fit. In case its important the other dimensions of my case are lenght- 410mm and height-450mm and the cooler i want is lc-cc-120 arbg
Question Is my case wide enought.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
What is the make and model of your case? Internal measurements are what you need.
is your cooler but we'll need to know the make and model of the case.

So whatt you are saying is that i should measure inside the case? And as for the model i dont think it will help you because ad i said its made by a small company in my home country and all sites where its found are in my countryes language.Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Not enough info.
My motherboard is micro ATX.
My case is 188 mm wide. It will accept coolers up to 140 mm tall.
Your case is 10 mm narrower than mine.
I would guess your case CANNOT accept a 145 mm tall cooler.
Repeat: that is a guess.
Thanks for your guess. Im not sure if my case can fit a full atx i think it can. I did some measurments from the motherboard to the glass and its looks like it can just bearly fit the cooler it would have a 1cm or 1,5 space between the cooler and the glass.
Whether your case can fit a full ATX case is not critical.
Case width is the critical factor. That's why I'd guess it is too narrow.
Your case is 7 inches side.
Mine is 7.4 inches wide and cannot take a cooler above 140 mm.
Your motherboard would have to mount at least a half inch lower in the case to accept a 145 mm tall cooler.
That is possible. I think it is unlikely.

Thank you i will think on what to do from now on. But based on your estimate what do you think is the max height that my case can fit?
Best guess:
. 4 inches less than my case.
.4 inches is 10 mm.
Therefore, I'd guess 10 mm less than my case.
140 mm minus 10mm is 130mm
Repeat, that's a guess.
I use a Noctua U9S. Height 125 mm. It is about the best cooler available at that height.
I will probably go with noctua. Its a bit harder to get in my country than the other one but its not too hard.
