Identifying the clearance options inside a chassis is vital to system builders because the entire process helps to establish whether specific hardware will fit.

CPU Cooler


For the CPU Cooler there is approximately 180-185mm for the maximum height. Installed inside H440 we’ve used the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO which is 159mm in height – you can clearly see there is plenty of clearance there.

Graphics Cards


H440 has the option to remove any redundant HDD trays which greatly aids graphics card compatibility. With the HDD trays attached there is approximately 294mm for the total length of a card but if we remove any obstructing trays we have up to 428mm – covering any cards which are currently on the market.

Cable Management


In the area behind the motherboard tray we can route the cables, we have approximately 18mm of space between the back of the tray and the side panel.

It’s worth bearing in mind there is a layer of noise damping material on the inside of the side panel which can be easily damaged – keeping cables away from this panel is essential to avoid any scratches or rips.
