Anidees AI4 Review

Clearance – CPU Cooler, GPU, Cable Management

The clearance options inside a case are vital for being able to determine which hardware can be installed.

Thankfully, AI4 has plenty of space for flagship CPU coolers and can accommodate coolers up to approximately 168mm in height. This covers a wide selection of offerings such as the popular Noctua NH-D14. Do bear in mind though, there is only 4mm of clearance between the top of the motherboard and PSU.


Good clearance for big CPU coolers


For graphics card clearance there is approximately 12” before the card will touch the front cooling fans. Pictured is our XFX 7970 DD which is around 10.5” in length.


Approximately 12” in length for graphics cards


Cable management options and clearance is quite poor inside AI4 and it is hard to arrange a clean setup inside the case. If you aren’t planning to use the optical drive bay then cables can be stored here but there is no clearance behind the motherboard tray which is rather a disappointment.


Cable management is difficult to organise
