Hello chaps, I am thinking about getting this for my Zalman Z9 Plus case.

I had a couple of questions though, has anyone had this fan and case that can tell me if I need to disassemble the whole lot to fit it and if it will fit in the case if there are fans on the side.

Measured distance from motherboard to edge of case and I SHOULD have enough room, MSI-Z77-GD65 and Zalman Z9.

Whats OCUK return policy if things dont fit just incase I was wrong.

Going by specs on case + cooler I should have sufficient room as well.
 
NH-U12P is not a bad cooler but it way over-priced in today's market.

What is the motherboard to sidecover measurement? Subtract 8mm from that and you have the CPU to sidecover clearance. ;)

If you have 162mm the Thermalright HR-02 Macho is quite good 162x150x129mm and only £39.98

If you have 165mm the Alpenfohn K2 is very good. 164x143x105mm for £49.99http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-020-AL&tool=5

Raijintek Nemisis is good too and is 165.5x140x130mm and also £49.99

Please let us know what our CPU clearance is. Than we can make better suggestions.
 
Im not going to be overclocking so dont need nothing extreme, its just that my CPU when idle is around 60c (Used to be 50c but its getting warmer now) and I said to myself last year when it was starting to cool down ill start saving up so next year when it starts getting warmer I can pick one up hehe.

Im using stock cooler atm.

I am sure if I decided to hit some heavy encoding it would get up to 90.
