Question For MicroFly Owners

[jgigz]

Im going to be building a LAN pc (micro obviously) with the microfly, and I was wondering as to how much headroom there is for an aftermarket HSF. I currently have a Blue Orb 2 in my current setup (normal sized) and I am curious if I will be able to use it and not have to buy a low profile one.


TIA

I know with the QPack (similar sizing), you can use a short Zalman in it and still be able to slide the mobo tray back into the computer.

You could always try using your heatsink and then if you can't fit it into the case, just order the smaller version.

Well I would do that and seeing as im turning my main computer into the micro, if i have to order it then i cant use my pc for 3-5days for shipping, i want to get it in all at once

That would be the only disadvantage. See if you can find a review of the case. It may give you an idea of how high the heatsink is able to be and still fit.

Edit: A link to the dimensions/review of the case: Text
Maximum CPU cooler height: 3in (76mm)

The blue orb 2 is roughly 3.5in high so looks like imma have to order a low profile one. Thanks for all the help
