Any idea of what Coolermaster case you have exactly? as you dont want to be buying something that stops the side panel fitting back on.

Thanks for the quick reply and the link to http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-155-CM

The good new is it has 166mm from the cpu surface to the side panel.

So you can take your pick,

And add a 120mm fan to the front of the case?

how can you recommend the freezer 7 when the gelid tranquillo is cheaper?

they will both be fine with your motherboard

*edit*
found a review site that does the same test on both of them:
gelid tranquillo
freezer 7 rev 2

freezer 7 does strangely badly - i expected it to be bad, but not that bad

Theres better for just a few quid more such as the Gelid.

And if you havent already, stick a cheap 120mm in the front of the case - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-004-AN&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4

I've just upgraded from a crappy thermaltake air which was only 10% better than stock to Antec khuler 620 and highly reccommend it. 30c idle / 45c load, on stock volts.
