A question about CPU coolers

What case are you planning to use this in ?
I don't think it will fit in the laptop you have in your spec's.

Not the laptop for sure
I'm getting an NZXT Phantom 820 to put everything in.

Going by the spec's for the case :
Phantom 820 - NZXT
Either one should fit, as far as height is concerned.

I suggest you to read these two reviews for noise and size and pics and whatnot:
Silvestone cooler
Cooler Master cooler
Seems like the Cooler Master one has been tested on an older i7 870, although both the 870 and the 2500k have the same TDP of 95 watts. So it would seem that the Cooler Master did keep the CPU 10 degrees cooler than the Silverstone.
