Smaller alternative to Tuniq Tower

Hi Guys,

I'm about to build a new Q6600 rig inside my CM201 blackwidow but the Tuniq Tower is too tall.

What alternatives are there for good air cooling?

thanks

Got an Arctic Freezer Pro 7 holding an E6600 @ 3.2, 34/36 idle and 51/52 full load. That's in an ATC-201 too.

Thanks, could you tell me how much room is there between the Freezer 7 Pro and the side of the case?

I think I might be able to squeeze a Themalright Ultima-90 in which is 12.5mm taller than the Freezer Pro.

I'll measure it exactly if you want when I get home tonight, but i'd say you've probably got more like 2-3cm from the top of the HSF to the side of the case.

that would be fantastic, thanks mate.

I'd strongly recommend the OCZ Vendetta over the Freezer. Check the reviews, it beats the freezer every time. Great little cooler. Also has the benefit of a changeable fan, Don't like the stock 92mm fan? Fit your own choice! Can't do that with the freezer!

3cm, give or take a mil.

Tape measure was held against the highest point on the plastic shroud, apologies for the slightly blurry pic!
