Does the Kraken x62 fit with no problems on the bottom of the Cerberus X? I'm looking to get the x62 for my build. Also, do people switch out the fans, or do they keep the stock fans on?

Can confirm it fits, but you might not be able to get all the screws into the bottom. I have 4 screws holding my 280mm AIO in the bottom.
NZXT fans are ok. I would recommend some Noctuas if looking for slightly better noise / performance.
In my experience of installing 280mm rad, having the X62 30 mm-thickness/280mm and then later H115i Pro 30mm-thickness/280mm, I didn't have any space for the cables at the bottom of the motherboard (ATX motherboard), unless I removed the fans from the top, or even if I tried 15mm fans. The cables were being pressed hard against the board and the connectors. So I had to find way with 120mm fans on a 280mm RAD. This was in a Cerberus X.
I'd assume this depends on the motherboard size, if it is ATX standard size or smaller.
Would a 240 aio be better for the extra space at the bottom? The cooling wouldn’t be all that different.
If in any case you're likely to experience what I did, I would assume a 240mm RAD would be a better choice. it'd give you slightly more room to not crush the board against it.
I can clarify what I meant, as I feel I sounded vague in my last comment.
Basically, there a connectors at the bottom of my board. Which many boards do in most cases. Such as Fan header, audio SPDIF, I/O connector/header. Having the 280mm RAD took almost the entire space under the the area of the board, and when installing fans over it, it pressed hard against the connectors and headers. Especially the USB internal cable I had plugged in. I either had to sacrifice a lot, or I had to think what to do. And I then just installed 120mm fans on top of the 280mm RAD, using one screw hole and three plastic screws with strong sticker adhesive at the bottom, for each fan.
If you use 240mm RAD, you could move the rad more away from the board, and have slight room between the RAD+Fans and the board.
Hello all, I am wanting to build a cerberus x machine and was doing some research. I believe I will be going with a c14s air cooler as i believe that might be the best one for an air cooler setup. If i am researching correctly, i can fit a 120mm fan at the top and then 2 140mm at the front and bottom. AM i correct in this?? (oh and a 120mm fan on the side bracket.)
Welcome on club.
Top fan is 120mm x15mm. You can either have one or two fan depending of top bracket.
Front fan, you can put up to 140x25mm below psu.
At bottom, you can put 2x120m, better than 1x140mm
Should ship today, sorry we had a delay on QC with new trainee.

Hello,
did you order there without problem? I tried it yesterday and Paypal Paying did not work. After paying with Creditcard I got an Mail that an Fraud-Prevention.
They what more Data, in 2 Days, or they could only work on the order with payment first.
And I also ask them, why did the want an Paypal Payment Fee, I thougth since (EU) 2015/2366 aka PSD2 they where not allowed to give payment fees throug customers in EU.
Regards
Hi Santalaus,
unfortunately PayPal had some technical difficulties which are now solved and PayPal can be used without issues now.
Regarding the Paypal fees...unfortunately some parts of the website are still under construction and the system has charged these in error. But as visible now when you try to place an order, you wont get any of those again
And all other buyers that got these charged already did receive them back.About the fraud prevention...most payment providers (including PayPal, or our BARION payment gateway) implement an automated fraud prevention system that automatically checks many parameters of the transaction and if some part did not seem to be OK, the transaction is flagged. In fact this is law in many EU countries and Credit card issuers and financial institutions are required to do what is possible to keep the buyer secure during his/hers transaction over the internet.
Unfortunately these systems sometimes work "too good" and a transactions is flagged even if it should not be. It is sometimes enough, when i.e. the buyer is using a card issued in a different name than his delivery address, or in many cases when the buyer is using a VPN and basically "paying from a different country" than is the issuing country of the credit card used. These are just a few of extremely many examples. For safety reasons do not know which one was exactly your case and we also never know the card number of the buyer (and honestly no one should have these data for obvious reasons). There is a unified secure system called 3Dsecure which will deal with this type of problems in the future., But unfortunately only a few banks do support it at the moment and EU has pushed out the legislation that would require 3Dsecure during online checkout for all of them until 2020.
Therefore if something like this happens, we have to verify the delivery address and ONLY the name of the card holder. We never ever will ask for any sensitive card numbers, etc (for obvious reasons). This is simply the same, that can also happen when a buyer in most countries pays via a card in a brick-and-mortar shop over a certain higher amount and is asked for his ID to prove his identity.
If you've re-confirmed your delivery address and the name of the card holder, the data is checked with the payment provider and in 99,9% cases immediately confirmed. After that your order will simply be processed as usual.
Issues like these are not always nice, but they help us to improve the system so more buyers can have a seamless checkout experience in the future.
We apologize for any inconveniences caused and hope something like this will never happen again to any buyer
Kind regards

I'll definitely have a look soon..
Question again, this time regarding coolers.
i will be getting a 3950x when it drops next decade. I was looking into air cooling and have settled on three choices. The noctua c14s, and the noctua U9s. Is there a vast difference in performance between these two models??

I think this thread is more focused on the Cerberus cases, and things that fit in it, i.e size and compatibility etc.
I don't think it is for telling the performance differences for cooling between two air cooler. However, maybe someone might answer. Unless you're asking in terms of how well it'd work with the case.
Other than that, I'm sure there are some reviews online.
Hopefully someone will answer the question here though.But here is a link to a thread on SFF Network site. And you might find it well. It is about Noctua C14 vs U9 and BeQuiet DarkRock TF: Noctua NH-C14 vs Noctua U9S vs be quiet Dark Rock TF
I hope this finds you well.
If you want you can also visit the SFF Network Discord server. People there are very nice and knowledgable enough to help.

sorry yes should have clarified . I was wanting to see if anyone had experience in this case of these coolers specifically in the Cerberus x case . on the sliger website I don’t remember seeing the U9s and it seems specs wise it should fit.
C14S! Will want a rear 92mm exhaust fan and a top 120mm exhaust fan as well. But that should be able to handle the 3950X.
Worst case, liquid cooling!
