Will A Cryorig R1 Ultimate Fit In My Corsair Graphite 230T?

Hi I have seen a lot of cooling solutions and want to change my Artic freezer 13 co for a Cryorig R1 Ultimate. When I check corsair compatibility list it says that this case only support 165 Maximum CPU Cooler Height

No. It won't fit. The Cryorig R1 Ultimate has a height of ~168mm (http://www.cryorig.com/r1-ultimate_us.php) and, yes, the Corsair Graphite 230T only has a maximum cooler height clearance of 165mm (http://www.corsair.com/en-us/graphite-series-230t-windowed-compact-mid-tower-case-battleship-grey).

Alternatively, you can use the Cryorig H5 Ultimate (http://www.cryorig.com/h5-ultimate_us.php) or the Cryorig H5 Universal (http://www.cryorig.com/h5-universal_us.php). Both only have a total height of 160mm and will fit in your case.

Here's a sample build: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/CkkTwP

I would suggest the cryorig H5 universal. At a height of 160mm, you are also guaranteed ram clearance:

Ok tanks a lot guys I really apreciate your help.
Right now I am using an Artic Freezer 13 oc on my FX 8350 and my temps are reaching 60c° at full load and (30C° Iddle). I have not decided between corsair h80i v2, Noctua NH-D15S, cryorig H5 universal. Any suggestion for better thermals?

BTW I am using a Gigabyte ga-970a-ud3p

Here are some nice reviews for comparison:

http://www.relaxedtech.com/reviews/noctua/nh-d15/8

You can get the best thermals with that Noctua NH-D15S (but might not like the "look"). Almost as good as the H80i 120mm AIO cooler. Also close to performance is the Cryorig R1 (but doesn't fit in your chassis). The Cryorig H7 is somewhere slightly below the performance of all these.
