*cooler base to bottom fin. (add 8mm for motherboard to bottom fin.)
**fins are at 3 different levels
K2, D14 & TC14 are about same except for TC14 140mm fans & 31mm RAM clearance stack up to 171mm (my R2 is 165mm clearance and TC14 fits)
SB-E is widest by 15mm. Even wider with TY-150 fan = 170.
Extreme with TY-143 fans is still 151.5mm wide.
Looking at motherboard with CPU socket on right, I/0 sockets at back and PCI slots from left side of board the right side of 7th slot is 158mm from right side of board. All ATX are the same PCI slot placement.
From left side to right side of 1st slot is 25mm; 2nd slot is 45mm; 3rd = 66mm, 4th = 86mm; 5th = 107; 6th = 127; 7th = 147mm. Total board = 305 - 147 = 158mm. Math checks out !
6th PCI slot is usually the top GPU slot.
Phanteks PH-TC14PE:
Fan clips protrude 4mm plus 70mm from centerline = 74mm.
Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E is 170mm wide because TY-150 is 168mm wide.
Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme is 155mm because it uses 2x TY-143 which are 151mm wide.
So I've got a better chance of fitting the Extreme in there than the standard SBE... Am I reading the dimensions on the fans correctly? The TY-143's are just as tall as the TY-141?
Research it a 100 times and double check the sizes before you buy! Less likely to waste your hard earned money that way. So next time she complains about how long it takes to make a decision, just say i am trying my best not to waste any money darling!! AJ.
P.S. Good choice on the Phanteks Cooler and best of luck with that.
Not as good. Noctua is optimized for quiet, the TRUE scales better with faster fans. There's also the update to the true, which is the Venomous X. There's a few Prolimatech heatsink with a similar design too.
Got it for $64.99 Was priced $79, then used google wallet to save $15 as well Can't beat that!
