Lian-li PC60 case - Which CPU headsink/fans will fit?

[Nades]

Hi, I'm looking at getting a Lian-li PC 60 case, but I have some concerns on certain aftermarket CPU heatsink/fans not fitting. Looking at the case, the CPU socket is very close to the PSU and it almost looks as though some aftermarkets cooling solutions would not fit. Looking especially at the Zalman & Thermalright aftermarket cooling solutions. Anyone have this case & can advise me on what fits & what does not?

Thinking about it again, I guess it would also matter what mobo you would run w/ the case as well. I'm looking at a 875 chipset board....perhaps asus, abit, or DFI. So with that in mind, any recommendations on aftermarket cooling w/ this case?

Thanks!

I have the Antec SuperLAN boy case which is worse. I had to remove the fan grille off of my PSU because it obstructed with the fan clip of my SLK947U + 92mm fan.

Lian Li case should be fine.

The Lian-Li case at 17.7"H will be just fine. I have a case with roughly same dimensions (Antec SLK3700-BQE at 18.3") and the Thermalright SLK947u heatsink. Your case height is 1/2inch off of mine. Everything in mine fits with plenty of room to spare. I have even crammed same setup into a Kingwin SW11 (at 16"). Now that was as tight as I would want to go, without bending the laws of physics.

I've got a Lian-Li PC6077 which has the same dimensions as the PC 60 and there is plenty of space between my Thermalright SLK 900A and my PSU (I have a MSI K7N2-L mainboard).

There shouldn't be any problems with it, it has room enough for all the current hsf designs.
