Let me field this one, as it will be useful more generally as an example of a method of determining fitment.
Thank you very much for the elaborate answer (and awesome case design!). It's greatly appreciated.
Following this logic, I conclude that the NH-C12 SE14 does not fit, as it has a distance to CPU center of 70mm towards the top with the heatpipes facing towards the rear. I suppose you can just outfit it with a smaller fan though.
