NT06 or Thermalright Ultra-120 eXTreme?

Seen the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme. Looks awesome. Do you think it would fit in a Silverstone TJ08? Also, would it be better at cooling that the Silverstone NT06?

IF you don't want to die,
don't ask stupid questions in these ub0r-forums.

Are you mental or what? You are the idiot. If you can't supply a serious answer then butt out chimp.

yeah, s_xero, WTF is the point of such a rude and obnoxious reply? it's a shame such behaviour is not grounds for a ban from SPCR.

back on-topic, this heatsink roundup pegs the TR U-120 extreme as the best cooler right now, outclassing the NT06 by some considerable distance. I don't know the dimensions of the TJ08, so hard to say if it will fit or not.

There's a build using a Thermalright HR-01 in a TJ08 in the General Gallery - the Ultra 120 is just 2mm taller, but 22mm wider (north/south, blowing towards the rear fan), so I'd say the answer was a qualified "yes," depending on the position of your CPU socket relative to the power supply.

You're asking about the width of the TJ08, and whether it fits the height of the U120X. I dunno, it'd be a tight fit.

But the big problem (for some people) with the TJ08 is, the front bezel is awfully close to the rear panel.

There just isn't much room in between. Long video cards? Forget it! One goes on a long search for the world's shortest optical drive, which will fit with 1mm to spare...

The U120X is for cooling really hot CPUs. What a really hot CPU would be doing in the tight quarters of the TJ08, I dunno. My take, for what it's worth, is either you could use a less-extreme HSF, or you need a bigger (esp. longer) case to fit the stuff you bought the really hot CPU to drive!

Full disclosure: I owned a TJ08. Tossed it. It proved too tight for even my modest requirements, which did not include a video board at all (I use integrated video).

I like the idea of a small case. I have a Matx board too. I am using a bog standard Matx case at the mo but my temps are approx 42 idle using the NT06. Fan on lowest setting. No case fans.
