Question about SOLO.

Post by Konnetikut » Tue Aug 07, 2007 3:53 pm

Q: Will the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme fit in a SOLO? (blowing back)

I see someone's used the original Ultra-120 in the General Gallery but see no mention of Extreme's compatability.

Not only is the U120 the same height as the U120X, but I'm using the U120X in a Solo myself.

I don't own one but after checking Thermalright's website, the extreme has the exact same dimensions as the original Ultra-120 (heavier, though). If the non-extreme worked, I'd imagine an extreme would work as well.

It didn't occur to me originally to check Thermalright's website...lol

Thanks for the replies, I'm probably going with P182 anyway.

Hi there!

I have similar question for Antec Solo.

I have Asus P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard, S478 slot CPU, and I'm thinking to buy a Thermalright XP-120 (S478) CPU cooler or a Zalman CNPS7700 cooler.
Will these CPU coolers fit in the Antec Solo?

More exactly, maybe could anybody measure the vertical distance between the upper motherboard screw line (screws which holds the motherboard) and the lower edge of the PSU?
(My current Asus Ta-982 case have 18mm for this distance.)

Thanks really!

@batka: the XP-120 and 7700 are both low profile coolers by comparison, they'll fit in a Solo with plenty of room above.
I have the SI-128 (much taller than XP-120) with Nexus fan in P150 and there's enough room till the case panel.

Thanks you indeed! That's promising!

BTW I ment the space between the CPU cooler and the PSU , not between the CPU cooler and the case side panel, just for clearing up it more.
