Nibi 0 Posted January 24, 2017 Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has tried the Masterair Maker 8 CPU cooler with their Masterbox 5 casing. I have looked at the specs and there seems to be a 5mm difference--the Masterbox has clearance for 167mm CPU coolers while the MasterAir Maker is specified as 172mm. However, it seems like the MasterAir Maker has interchangeable shells that can be swapped to match your build's design. So would it be possible to remove the shell and fit the cooler inside a 167mm case? Best, Nibi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nibi 0 Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks Mohd. I have received a response from CM customer service, posting it here in case others are wondering of the same thing: "Thank you for your ticket, as the brackets of the cooler cannot be removed as it is to hold the fans in place. It is not recommended. Thank you" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
