Hi everyone,
I was planning on buying the Fractal Design XL R2 case and putting the Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU cooler in it. Originally I was looking at the Noctua NH-D14, but the Phanteks seems to get a bit better reviews with people saying they get lower temperatures.
Anyways, I didn't even think about clearance because the XL R2 case is so big, but when I disable the compatibility filter on PCPartPicker so that I can actaully choose the XL R2, it says there is a compatibility issue with the two. But I just watched a video at http://www.hitechlegion.com/reviews/cases/32763-fract-def-xl-r2?showall=1&limitstart= that shows them using those exact same parts without issue.
This is the first time I've used PCPartPicker. Is it common for it to screw up these things? Or is there actually the possibility of a compatibility problem?
Thanks for the help.
