Will my CPU heatsink/fan fit in my case/ mb?

[Jasper005]

Hi every1, bit of advice would be appreciated.. i'm buying these new components in a couple of days...

Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Retail
MB: Asus P5N32-E SLI PLUS 775
Case: Lian-Li PC-61 Black

I was gonna get a Zalman CNPS9500-AT Intel LGA775 to help keep things nice and cool when I OC but i'm not sure how i can check that its going to fit - its a pretty huge piece of hardware.

The other option i was looking was the Scythe Infinity Quiet CPU Cooler, would this fit as well? Which of the two would you choose? The choices are really limited by the website that im buying the other components from.

Any advice greatly appreciated, cheers Jasper.

I think the Infinity is larger than the 9500, so if the Infinity can fit, the Zalman will too.
Dunno about motherboard, but Zalman and Scythe should have a page showing incompatible motherboards, so you may want to check that out (if they don't specify models, then you can usually deduce it from the requirements, like needs backplate on mobo already, or something similar)
I think it should all fit in the PC-61, it's not the smaller mATX Lian-Li case, as I first thought it was, so it should have the space for the Infinity.

it should fit but the best way to know is to buy the hardware and install it and see how much room is left to me sure that it will fit

case is 21cm in depth - 12.5 cooler height = 8.5cm

So that gives you plenty room after you take off mobo risers and socket height from mobo itself!

Loads of room :)
