I think you can directly substract ~20mm from width of case, first of all motherboard's backplate isn't level with side panel and then motherboard is rised above it's backplate.

Then there's also CPU socket/CPU adding extra so at least there wouldn't be much extra space.

For what it's worth... I have a Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9, Opteron 152 and a Scythe Mine HSF and have almost an inch to spare (in height). Looking at the picture here, of the Scythe next to the HR-01, http://www.silentpcreview.com/article636-page1.html, I dare say you'll be fine.

Hey, did you notice that the Athenatech A301BS.400 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811190061 is almost the exact same thing as the TJ08 but costs 1/2 as much AND has a 400W PSU?

Do you have your computer all set up? How do you have your hard drive mounted? I have my WD SE16 500GB with a ZALMAN ZM-2HC2 on the bottom of the case but am thinking of getting a Mcubed Vertical Silencer instead. Anyone tried this?

Maybe we should have a new uber TJ08 thread!

----My own update
Of course if anyone actually KNOWS, please chime in!
I just measured the clearance between my Scythe MINE and the door and it's roughly 10 cm ( I had forgotten about the heat pipe "caps"!). Newegg has the MINE at 150 cm, so I'd say you'd be EXTREMELY close. Too close perhaps. {Assuming almost equal CPU heights, etc.}

What CPU do you have? My MINE cools my Opteron 152 44.1 W with Cool n Quiet to ~30 C at ~900 RPM, mobo controlled. It's very quiet. I bought the heatsink before the CPU, I was prepared to get maybe a 67 W CPU.

Good for you! btw I don't think that Scythe Mine would fits for my cases, because I'm using a hr-03 for my 7900 ..

Did anyone ever figure out the answer to this? I'm very interested...

I've got a Ninja in my TJ08 it's a bit lower than the HR01 though.

I can now unequivocally state that an HR-01 does fit into the TJ-08. The fit is almost like it is ducted to the case, but it does fit.

Would a 1 mm taller cooler fit?

Thermaltake Ultra-120 160,5 mm
HR-01 159,5 mm

Oof... to answer that I think I would have to put 1mm of adhesive spacing on the tips of the heatpipes. As I said, it is tight enough it is practically ducted and does a fantastic job of cooling, even though it's mounted in the less-optimal horizontal orientation due to my using the bolt-thru bracket (which I HIGHLY recommend!). The 1.8 Sempron doesn't even get to 45 under load, though that's with an MSI board thermister...
