I have to say, thats not a problem with the design of the case, thats a problem with the Thermalright 120.

It should come with a warning about space requirements - so many people on the net have done the same as you ....

You can fit the thermalright if you face it upwards and put the fan pulling air through instead of pushing. ie on top away from the side fan.

moogle is there any chance u could show a pic of this.

I assume if the 120 is too big, the ultima-90 will do the job, except if you still use a 120mm fan - of which half of the fan is blowing air over the heatsink - not through it?

I've got no Nine Hundred anymore I'm afraid. If you have the heatsink in the horizontal plane like this

Bottom of Case



Etc then it won't conflict with the side fan, although if you want the ultima I'm sure you could use the 120mm fan but keep it lower so it blows air across the heatpipes on the bottom and across chipset components.

Having real trouble with this case now I have 4 HDDs..... can only JUST fit a 9800GTX in place, and absolutely no hope for a second one even though this case is supposedly Sli certified...... even if it would fit in there (i.e if I had no HDDs) it looks as though it would seriously compromise airflow to the PSU.

One reason I upgraded mine. I had 3 and didn't like the cramped feeling.

So which case have you got now then mate?

Lian Li PC-A77B, monster of a case, just like the 900 as well with the front 5.25 bays with holes.
