I'm doing my first build and I'm a bit of a noob. I've chosen the Apevia X-SniperG-BL case. I plan on overclocking an i7 to ~3.8 GHz.
The two sinks I am looking at, the TRUE 120 & the Scythe Mugen 2, are 160mm tall and 158 mm tall (respectively). I read in a review that for the case I have chosen, I shouldn't choose a heat sink taller than 155 mm! I'm wondering if these sinks will be able to fit in this case. I really want this case, and I don't want to sacrifice CPU cooling.
The width of the case is 203.2mm, but with mobo and fan, I'm afraid the heat sinks won't fit! What do you recommend?
