I know from experience that if you have a Thermalright SLK-800 or bigger it wont fit. If you want an active cooler you could consider the Thermaltake Extreme Spirt NB cooler or the Coolmaster Blue Ice chipset cooler. You'll also need to check the clearance on the Thermaltake cooler as its quite high. |
