Arctic SP3 4u Rack Case Compatibility list

Good news/bad news:

Good news:

  • Heat sink fits in RSV-L4000U 4U Server Chassis. About 0.5mm to spare.

Bad news:

  • Fan does not (almost) fit on the case, due to the motherboard, ASRock WRX80 Creator R2.0.
  • Motherboard’s VRM heatsink/fan/TB4 module sticks up a lot. So I have to shift the fan up on the heatsink.
  • But doing so loses height/clearance for the case cover. The fan shroud is hitting the case cover, but the cover can be fully installed. Vibrations will be transferred to the case via the fan.
