Clearance – CPU Cooler, GPU, Cable Management

Clearance is an important aspect of case design for the enthusiast as it establishes whether key components will be compatible with a chassis or not.

GENE had no problems housing our Noctua NH-U12P which is 158mm in height and there is sufficient clearance for it to allow for bigger CPU coolers such as Noctua NH-D14 and Thermalright Silver Arrow which are both 160mm in height.


Support for large CPU coolers


The HDD cage isn’t removable inside GENE but nevertheless we can still accommodate long graphics cards. Pictured is XFX 7970 DD which is 10.5” in length, it may be difficult to fit anything bigger than this due to the obstruction the HDD cage creates.


Support for up to approximately 10.5” graphics cards


Behind the motherboard tray there is over 2cm of clearance which is more than generous. The side panel is also convex, so cable management is easy to maintain thanks to both these attributes.


Clearance behind the motherboard tray is very good
