200mm side fan and noctua nh-u12p se2

[bronzodiriace]

Good evening

I'd like to buy the Phantom case but I have two questions.

The first one concern about the kind of 200mm or 230mm fan fit on the side panel.
Reading on the web only the NZXT FN200B fit perfectly.
Are there any others solutions?

The second one is about 200 or 230mm side fan and the cpu cooler noctua nh-u12p se2.
The specs of the noctua nh-u12p se2 are the following:

Height 158 mm
width 126
depth 71mm


Can coexist the 200mm/230mm side fan with this cpu cooler?

Heh, I just fitted a XIGMATEK XLF F2006 200mmx20mm side fan to my phantom yesterday (http://www.nzxt.com/forum/showthread.php?8326-XIGMATEK-XLF-F2006-fan) - I too have the nh-u12p-se2. In short, it does fit, including the dust filter, but it's tight with a 20mm fan, like the xigmatek. No chance with a 30mm fan, the tip of the heatpipe would interfere with the blades.

The xigmatek comes with the alternative holes that fit the side panel mount part drilled, but you need to finish drilling them out by hand. Doesn't take long if you have a drill (I used a hand-cranked drill) and a 4mm drillbit.

More detail in the thead I linked.

Im getting the 200mm default fan, would this still work with the noctua?

Ive read both your threads but still usnure.

I can confirm, that with the noctua nh-u12p se2, a side 200mm default fan (I'm assuming same one that came with the case) will not fit.

Only a 20mm Thickness will work (According to post above). The default fan is 30mm, which will not be able to clear the cooler.

It seems the only option is to get that case fan (XIGMATEK XLF F2006 200mmx20mm), I haven't found any other 200x200x20mm with leds!

Just ordered the Xigmatek will keep take some pictures once is all installed. Thanks for the help
