Max CPU cooler for Phantom 410?

[anbello262]

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know the maximum CPU cooler height for a Phantom 410?
I was thinking about buyig a Thermalright True Spirit 140M for a bit more than a 212 evo, but I don't know if it would fit my case.
Does anyone know this?

Also, is this cooler any good?

First up the CPU cooler. Here NZXT claim support for up to 170mm. Installing inside Phantom 410 is the Noctua NH-U12P which measures 158mm in height. As you can see from the picture below we are left with very little clearance and the side panels are not convex. We still have enough room for the two most popular flagships – Noctua NH-D14 and Thermalright Silver Arrow. Both these coolers are 160mm in height.

Check out the Noctua NH U12s

That means that the Thermalright 140 won't fit inside the Phantom 410?

I can't get the Noctua, and is a lot more expensive than what I will pay for the Thermalright. I can only choose between the thermalright and the 212 evo, same price.

Is the thermalright better than the 212 Evo?

yes the true 140 is better than the 212 evo.

Are any other thermalright coolers available for a similar price?
Venomous X, HR-02 Macho(Rev A) are also good.

Oh, ok.
Then I'll keep my 212 for the Phantom 410, but I'll get the Thermalright for my girlfriend's build (Phantom 820).
The only other Thermalright I can get for around that price (cheaper actually) is the Thermalright 120, but I don't think it's that good.

The Thermalright true 120 performs just as good as the hyper 212 evo.
