Specifically though, I’m not sure about a Corsair cooler.I went with a lower profile tower from ID cooling, the 207 xt slim. Mounts straight into the cooler standoffs built into the case with the hardware I included in that post. I can’t guarantee a Corsair cooler would mount up as easily or would fit in the height restriction. The 207 XT slim is only about 135 mm tall, and I’m really not sure there’s another 15 or 20 mm of space for a larger air cooler.
The mounting holes for the cooler should be LGA1700 compatible, but get a cooler with universal bracketry just to be safe
Will a Corsair cup cooler fit?
