What is the difference in size between these two... will the TRUE fit in my CoolerMaster BlackWidow (Cooler Master ATC-201B)
Thanks.

quite a bit & yes.
the TRUE is basically the size of a 120mm fan with a little extra (about 4cm) underneath, bgut it is quite a bit bigger than the ACF7pro
so it's very easy to measure as to whether it fits... just grab a 120mm fan and hold it 4cm off the proccy... if the sidepanel would have enough room to go on then it fits
the TRUE is a very good cooler though (made a different of 14c idle for me )
Cheers guys
Here is a pic I took when I changed from a Freezer 7 to a TRUE

At what point do you think these manufacturers think a heatsink is too big or heavy....
If they want to be really clever, why not make a heatsink that is small and quiet and light.
Stop throwing more heatpipes, biggers fans and more fins... Soon there will be one huge heat
sink to cover your whole motherboard with 4 120mm fans.... Come on, lets invent something new!!!
*goes for a dig*
edit: nah.. thats not the one i was thinking of i think it was cooler master.. it looked quite nice...
edit2: in fact it was TR heres a piccy of the one i was thinking of
edit3: HEXUS nugget HERE (it's the second one down)

only 4 x 120mm fans, thats not very many. I have 9 x 80mm in my case all powered direct off the PSU (hardcano broke) its noisy.. very noisy.. 850watt RMS soon sorts it though, cant hear fans over that..
anyways, its not as many fans as this case...
"why not make a heatsink that is small and quiet and light."
assuming that we are talking air & not incl. water cooling etc. because it wouldn't dissipate the amount of heat being chucked out by overclocked quads etc.
Zalman did a case as well iirc that was used as an emitter/hs.
Holy. Crap. That thing would sound like a small propeller plane. O_o
To the topic at hand...my Arctic Cooler Pro 7 works wonders, but I've never used the other, but the ACP7 is pretty good size on its own (I barely got it in my case, and my Smilodon isn't exactly small either); I figure that other one would be too big for all but the biggest cases. ^_^
It's all to do with case width and layout. Most modern mid towers will fit it OK. And the reason people make these HSFs is that they work.
It doesn't fit in my case
When i try to put the side of the case back on, the cooler sticks out about a centimetre or so
On the upside, it is an excellent cooler -
that's with a sharkoon silent eagle spinning at just under 1000rpm.
Not OC'd yet, but i'll tinker about soon enough
As for the size of the cooler, I'm thinking I'll get some risers and push the window of my case out by enough to fit the HSF ok. Then maybe rip some tights up into strips or get some noise proofing foam and tape it somehow around the gap....
