Kotetsu fits in a Solo II?

Post by sschnee » Sun Oct 18, 2015 9:19 am

I'm finalizing my new build, and pcpartpicker flagged the Kotetsu as potentially not fitting in a Solo II. The Kotetsu is supposedly 160mm tall and the Solo II can supposedly fit coolers up to 160mm tall, so it seems right, or maybe impossible, depending on tolerances. Does anyone know for sure it they are compatible?

If not, maybe I should get a Ninja 4 instead.

It fits (but the Ninja 4 is better).

I have fitted a Scythe Mugen 3 and Thermalright HR02 on a Solo II, so it should be fine with the Kotetsu (or the Ninja4 as Lucas suggested).

Details: Kotetsu is 165mm tall, the Solo II clearance is 174mm. (Mugen 4 is 157mm, Ninja 4 is 155mm).

The Kotetsu fits in an Evercase 4252 (only just by a few mm), so it will also fit in a Solo II.

Your question might already be answered, but if you still have any doubts: I have the Kotetsu in a Solo II with additional dampening material on the side and there still is enough room.
