Thermaltake claim that Overseer RX-I can accommodate CPU coolers with a height of up to 177mm. So this covers all the flagships including – Noctua NH-D14, Thermalright Silver Arrow (160mm) and Thermalright Archon (170mm). Installed inside Overseer RX-I is the Noctua NH-U12P that has a maximum height of 158mm. It may not look like there is much clearance from the photo below but remember the side panel is convex so we have some added clearance.
Plenty of space for high-end CPU coolers
Moving to the graphics card clearance there is plenty of space here for long graphics cards. Installed inside Overseer RX-I is the NVIDIA GTX 480 which is 11” in length. There is space for bigger cards like the HD6990 and up to 13” if clearance.
More than adequate space for high-end graphics cards
In terms of water-cooling compatibility there is space at the top of Overseer RX-I on the inside for a Phobya G-Charger 240 Radiator. In the picture below the radiator is sat on the exterior of the case but it would actually fit inside because the top fascia doesn’t fix down due to the thickness.
Phobya G-Charger 240 radiator fits at the top – inside
Finally, behind the motherboard tray is just 1.3cm of clearance. This isn’t very generous – but remember the side panel is convex so we have an additional 3-4mm.
Approx. 1.6cm of clearance behind the motherboard tray
Over the page we will take a look at the visual splendour from the LED fans.
