| 826162 | 2009-11-01 07:56:00 | Hello, I am intending to buy a new cooler for an i7, and the coolers I seen - TRUE, Xigmatek - are nearly all around the 16cm height mark, and I am concerned whether it would fit into my small case (ATX - Mid/MiniTower i guess - its got 7 expansion slots) The width of the case at max is only about 18.5 cm Please help! |

| 826165 | 2009-11-01 08:23:00 | Thanks, but do they ACTUALLY fit in my 18.5cm wide case? The mugen is like 15.8cm high... Seriously, has anyone tried putting these tall coolers into smaller cases? |

| 826166 | 2009-11-01 08:28:00 | May i ask why you need an aftermarket cooler? Are you intending to OC? This looks pretty good and is only 92mm high www.computerlounge.co.nz |

| 826167 | 2009-11-01 09:24:00 | Yes, I am intending to overclock - the i7s past 3.6Ghz at least :-) By the way - the 92mm is the fan, the actual thing is 143mm - reasonable. But I actaully want to buy a Mugen-type cooler (i.e. that kind of size cooler), so I really want to ask whether that would fit into my case... Anyone tried it yet with a 18.5cm wide case? |
