Does anyone know how heatsinks are measured? (As in from the feet to the highest part or from the CPU to the top of the heatsink)
Reason for this I have a very tight squeeze case and need a new heatsink + Fan for my Intel quad core, I have a Asus Striker Extreme motherboard in a THermaltake VF7001BNS case and I am very tight for space and it needs to be silent as it is a media PC.
I have 13cm from the cpu to the top of the case so bearing in mind alot of heatsink are 12.5cm>+ so depending how heatsinks are measured I might have more or less space ......
I have included some links too show how tight i am for space, bare in mind that top bar can be removed, its a strengthening bar for the case but that should not be a problem.
Any help would be great!
Thanks,![]()

its 137mm, the thing with a lot of shops and websites they advertise these heatsinks with dimensions without saying which one is the height/width/depth etc.... so when they put them in a different order you think it might fit 

I overlooked the big typhoon as I was sure it was taller than that.
