That sounds like a better idea than cutting the case or bending the pipes.

Yeah!

I have an A+Case Twin Engine and any of the big coolers simply won't fit so i ordered this one ...
Problem is ... it hasn't arrived in Portugal, yet :shadedshu

Any chance TPU could do a review of it?

OK, a late update, sorry but a happy ending nonetheless: Noctua NH-U12P fits in the NZXT ADAMAS case (after removing the top side fan)!!! Perfect clearance! I have the Abit IP35 Pro mobo and I can even do push-pull exhausting at the back of the case! I even have the very tall Dominator RAMs (I could've even installed the memory fan but I'm not overclocking the sticks, so I didn't)! The overall clearance is perfect although you can argue that the air flow is kind of tight. Still I think it's pretty good for a case this small given that I had to remove only one case fan and after installing higher CFM fans, it was perfect!

What's the MSRP?

memory and heatsink

thanks to the gryphon you answered 2 questions i to will be using the tall dominator rams you say clearance is good does the heatsink cover so you have to move the rams to slots 2 and 4?and i understand that the noctua is better because the fin spacing is wider than the ultra 120 is this a plus or minus? how are your temps .thanks again for the help.
