hey guys i have been looking to purchase a new heatsink when i buy my video card, and i was looking at a few but dont know if they will fit:

Tuniq tower 120

there are people there with armor cases that say that they can't fit it or can't use the side-fan... my case is about an inch wider then the DVD drive bays, and about half an inch is behind the motherboard.

would that fit? because its an awesome price for what is presumably an amazing cooler
 
If your going for that price range, I'd get the Zalman 9700 LED. It has a fan on it, making it (in my opinion) have better cooling properties.
 
well damn... after measuring how deep my case is, i cannot fit this thing in with a side fan on... my case just happens to be about 2mm too small for it with its 160mm height...

well it looks like i'll take some $20 extra bucks and buy the zalman CNPS9700 led...

anyone know how far i'll be able to take my e4500 with that monster?

EDIT: i just read a few online reviews of the zerotherm Nirvana 120, supposedly it cools better then the zalman?

Thats the one he suggested...

The zalman is about $55, but it seems like it would do better than a fanless HS, unless you have really good airflow in your case.

The Tuniq isn't fanless, it has one inside it...

The Tuniq is by far one of the best Air Cooling HSF! I would get that and not use a side fan, that's what I do with the Antec 900...
 
no side fan huh? hmm i guess i could use another rear fan,

ok i'll buy the tuniq but if it doesnt fit i'm billing you kornowski!
 
haha :P but, looking at the design of the tuniq tower, a side fan on top of it would be pretty useless anyway, swince it would only be blowing air on the top of the heatsink, and basicly not cool anything.
