What fits, in one paragraph

This case is built around its bundled liquid cooler; tower air coolers have no published clearance and are treated as not fitting. Liquid coolers up to 140 mm mount top.

Form factor notes

At 19.1 L this is a Mini-ITX case; cooler height is the binding constraint, and low-profile coolers or a small radiator are the norm. Check GPU length (325 mm) before the cooler.

Terms used on this page

CPU cooler height
The installed height of an air cooler from the motherboard, compared against the case's published CPU cooler clearance. Coolers at or above 160 mm exclude many compact Micro-ATX and tempered-glass mid-towers.
AIO liquid cooler
A sealed closed-loop liquid cooler with a pump block and a 120–420 mm radiator. Radiator length determines case compatibility; thickness plus fans determines top-mount clearance above the VRM heatsinks.
RAM clearance
The tallest memory module that fits under an air cooler's front fan in its stock position. Dual-tower coolers with less than 42 mm clash with tall RGB kits (typically 44 mm) unless the fan is raised.
