I want to do a new build using an Aspire X-Qpack micro-ATX case. I also would like an Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 or E6600, can I fit a good enough (no over clocked) heatsink and fan into that case? I have the computer I'm using now in an Aspire X-Qpack but I don't really want to use a second hand case for a new build.

Cheers

I'd take a pic to show you but I have to be out the house in like 5 minutes. From what I've seen on a Pentium D Dual core, the heat sink and fan is MASSIVE. Considering a core 2 duo is higher spec and would presumably work hotter...

I'll take a pic when I'm back..
 
My initial plan is not to overclock as I think that going from an AMD Sempron 3000+ to two 2.13ghz or 2.4ghz cores is going to be big enough! But then again games need faster processors these days so I may have to overclock sometime...

I'll get the Zalman cooler anyway, it probably looks cooler than the stock and I got a new job so I can really splash out!

Also, would you say this is a good board to go with the core 2 duo E6600?
