240 mm and 360 mm are alternative cooling configurations, not a claim of simultaneous mounting. Model labels remain descriptive until final names are announced.
Supported means an announced case format or configuration.
Check required means the dimension is useful for planning, but the exact product or clearance still needs confirmation. A dimensional match is not the same as an individual physical test.
No matching hardware. Try a format, dimension or component name.
Choose the board format first. The full-size frame accepts three formats; both ITX frames use Mini-ITX.
