Which CPU cooler?

Need one for my 2600K, I want max performance and little noise. Needs to fit in my FT02B.

Was very happy with my Corsair H70 till the pump decided to give up.

I'm interested in the Phanteks jobby but uncertain if it will fit in this case, especially as you may need to move the first fan to the higher position to clear the RAM.

I'm not convinced about closed loop liquid coolers...too much to go wrong with them for my liking.

Would depend on the width from the mobo to case, but something like the Noctua NH-D14 / Phanteks TC14-PE / Silver Arrow would suit you. A quick Google search looks like people have fitted the coolers in your case, although I'm not sure how well, it could be very snug. Probably best be to check your clearance before purchase.

Depending on what corsair say, I'm tempted to build a loop for my CPU. Rad would go where it did with the H70, and just run a res in the 5" drive bay area.
