I'm still trying to narrow down a list to a reasonable priced CPU cooler. I missed out on the Coolermaster n520 I was looking to purchase on sale - so I've moved my eye to a Coolermaster V8 as a reasonable priced option with the ability to let me overclock later if I want to.
My biggest hangup though is my case. I've read in some reviews you need a full sized case for this thing. Or that it's 7.5" ( which would not fit in my case ) - but Coolermaster has it listed at 160mm as it's biggest dimension ( which is closer to 6" ).
* Will this CPU fan fit in my Antec 300 mid sized gaming case?
*Will I be able to screw in the board after installing the V8 CPU( My case is bottom mounted PSU - so the top is a bit of a knucklebuster on install - even without the CPU fan installed ) ??
* Does anyone have one of these things in an Antec 300?
* What is the actual height of the cooler from it's base below the heat pipes - to it's highest point?
Thanks
