FT02 and large tower coolers

[vafan13]

I'm leaning towards an FT02 as my next case...Which of the top large coolers (Archon, SA, D14, whatever) can and can not fit in this case? Does it make a difference if it's windowed or not?

I think the only one that won't find is the Archon because its too tall. The other ones should fit no problem.

Maximum height allowed for the FT02 would be 165mm.

Silver Arrow is your best bet.

Will the Silver Arrow fit with a Ripjaws X kit? I'm assuming it will because one can move the outside fan to the other side, right?

There are a couple of people on H using the Archon in the windowed version with no issue. There is pictures and all.

I would go with noctua -> it ripjaws will fit under it ( you can check the video on youtube if you want to), performance wise it's 1 degree difference with Silver arrow at most ( if you throw away aside overclockers3d review, in which silver arrow failed epicly at 4.2 OC for some unknown reason).

[vafan13]

so noctua will fit fine in a windowed FT02?

Use it with Noctua 14 fans, and Ripjaws works in triple setup.
Triple Nouiseblockers fit, but will touch the window.

I'm only concerned with dual atm
