could you suggest a cooler tower that would work in that case with the Intel® Core™ i9 Eight-Core Processor i9-11900KF (3.5GHz) 16MB Cache

Ah, ok then, that's a bug. The max it can support is 280mm actually, not 240mm

It's impossible to comment on individual components, if you list your requirements, what you're using it for, max budget and monitor you're pairing it with, then we can help. The fact your contemplating an 11900k is in itself hugely inappropriate.

I have already ordered this computer so should I just cancel and get a credit note if so how do I go about it
Click to expand...
If you cancel then the money will be returned and you can reorder.

But yes, you should definitely cancel as it's entirely the wrong platform, 11th gen are known as the worst processors in history

It's the same platform, none of the 11th gen would recommended, they're out of date, extremely poor performance and expensive.

Oops sorry I forgot to paste the updated specs I have changed my order to a Intel® Core™ i7 Eight Core Processor i7-10700KF (3.8GHz) 16MB Cache. Is this ok?

You're going backwards mate! That CPU is very old now!

You need to cancel the build were now on 12th gen

The configurator you're looking for is here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/computers/intel-z690-pc/

As Spyder has said, it's a totally different platform so you can't put 11th gen CPU's into a 12th gen motherboard (so they've split the configurators). You might not need to cancel your order if you haven't already. We've previously found success in configuring someone a PC then having them contact PCS with the new spec as a quote then asking to transfer over to the different spec. It's slightly more leg work, but saves time as you won't need to wait for a refund and don't lose your place in the queue. That said, before we can spec any PC's, we'll need some more info

1) What's your budget?
2) What will you be using the PC for?
3) What monitor will you be using with the PC? (Either make and model or resolution and refresh rate would be ideal)

Once we have this info we'll be able to spec you a more appropriate PC for your requirements


Just to answer OP's initial question, a 360mm AIO will fit in a 215, it'll just have to go in the front instead of the top, although I'm not sure how this'd look with the varying fan sizes.
