    Coolermaster 500 - Pentium Heatsinks?

    Might be getting a Coolermaster 500 but I am concerned that my heatsink won't fit. At the moment I have a Asus P4C800 Deluxe Motherboard with a P4 3.2
    with the stock heatsink and will be upgrading the heatsink to a
    thermalright sp-94. Will I have any trouble fitting these in the
    coolermaster 500?

    Any help would be great.

    The stock heatsink should fit ok. You may have to fit it with the psu removed and the mobo tray in place though.

    You can put the psu back in afterwards. On another note make sure you have a psu with a fan at the back and the bottom preferably a 120mm fan . As it will aid cooling somewhat

    Many thanks gordy, thought you would know.

    I have a Tagan PSU which has a fan at the back but not at the bottom. Is there any chance the SP-94 HS will fit?

    Thanks

    One of these mate - http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/thsp.html
    I don't think it will fit as it seems slightly larger than the stock intel heatsink?

    Looks like I might have to steal the shuttle psu idea off you then as I have bought it now. Cheers for the help though.

    You might be getting a few emails in the future then if I do decide to use a shuttle psu. That is if you don't mind me stealing your idea.
