I Have a size Problem..

[DMC RAPIER/XBOX]

Hey there,
Could someone please tell me for definite.. What CPU Coolers WILL fit into an Antec 902 (with side fan fitted, mention if not able to) and on an ASUS P5Q Deluxe.

Also what problems (if any) There are to install.

Thanks everybody.

I've got a TRUE fitted aswell as a side fan in my 902, all you need to do is dremel one of the corners of the side fan off.

Don't worry about it i'm sure there are many others out there just like you

On a serious note i would say that any CPU cooler will fit except for the odd few such as coolermasters V12 for example. you may need to check that the fan will clear the northbridge heatsink but that should be about it.

The NB heatsink on the P5Q Dlx is pretty low profile, most things should clear it unless they are stupidly designed.

thank you for the quick replies. I had heard the TRUE will fit but ideally i was looking for one that will fit with no interference. I may just be dreaming of course. But if all else fails i'll have to accept it. Could you post some pics of the work you did to get it to fit please VOX.? And some pics of just general spacing around components? Thank you.

You'll have to deal with poor phone photo's I'm afraid, but I'm switching the fan round to exhaust later today to try it out so will take a pic or two for you then .

I don't know the answer either way, but you'll need to specify what processor if you want someone to pick a cooler for you.

Thank you very much, You did answer this in another post of mine but i never asked for pics and the P5Q Deluxe was not a definite. Now i have

E8400 DC 3.0ghz EO
Antec 902
Asus P5Q Deluxe

all just sat here staring at me. I need more money lol.

E8400 DC 3.0GHZ EO sorry.

Couldn't get any ones the show the clearance of the TRUE on the P5Q Deluxe (Poor light,) however it is clear by about 5mm. The only real restriction is if you have a 120x38mm fan on it you will loose 2 RAM slots if you have tall RAM (e.g. Corsair Dominators)

Perfect. Thank you very much for you're help. TRUE it is.

No probs .
