Checked the discussion here, the height limit is about 145mm for 8950.
I want to replace Noctua NH-D12L. It is exactly 145mm. So, is it really fit this case?
Thanks!

Finally, I tried install NH-D12L today. It fit 8950. Like other posts, I have to buy M3x20 screws to install the mount. Temperature down 10 degree+ on idle.
However, I don't know why it can't detect fan speed even the original fan.

There is room for 3 fans 2 in front 1 rear
3x Be Quiet Silent Wings 3 120mm PWM High-Speed case Fan's

Keep in mind however DELL Fans are 4000 RPM so if you run tests it will fail for non dell fans.

I have been running the top fan on my Be Quiet Dark Rock TF2 in my 8950, no issues with clearance and the cover.
