Hey, first post here but i really like this forum. Glad i found it
Anyways my question is:
Will the Thermalright Macho Rev.B fit in a Fractal Design Define R5? Plan to use it on a LGA2066 socket (which i understand is the same shape as the LGA2011?)
Also its been a while since i buily my last pc and at that time the thermal paste of choice was the Arctic Silver 5? Should i go for something else now?
Thanks!
Will this cooler fit in this case?

Re: Will this cooler fit in this case?
Im sorry, should have checked the basic measurements before posting. My bad. Does not seem to fit. My second question still stand though.
Re: Will this cooler fit in this case?
Yes it will, it is only 162mm high so falls well within the maximum CPU cooler height allowed for the R5. This page from the Thermalright web site gives all the dimensions for the Macho Rev.B.
