Will this mini-itx case fit a stock i7 or 1100t cooler.

Try to build a speedy i7 or 1100t in the smallest case I can find.

My guess is that would be a negative. The Phenom 2 coolers are not small.

Probably not without removing one of the brackets. You'd have to go with some low profile cooler.

I think the Core i3 2100T (that's what you meant by 1100t right?) uses an even smaller cooler than the faster ones. I think it will fit - see the pic posted by lsv. Hmmm, actually it may be problematic since the socket 1155 motherboards have the CPU more centered, so now I'm not so sure.

According to the product page:
- Enclosure fits all Intel stock CPU heatsink

Found something that might help.

For reference;

Left - Standard LGA 1155/1156 HSF
Right - T series HSF (2100T etc)

I'd not put a low profile on an i7 to be frank. It doesn't seem like enough cooling. My i7 idles around 40c but that's on like 800rpm and around 60c 1800rpm. I'd imagine that you would have the fan too high all the time on an i7. But try it out and report back haha 🙂
