Overclocking Core i7 920/Liquid Cooler?

@ azathoth,

Understand.

BTW my desk was designed to have the CPU sit where it sits now. The only thing I did for the current case is remove a bottom shelf which gave me an extra 4 inches of height.

Good luck.

I am running one now it’s a great case and even have the 120 rear fan you are needing.

As for PSU's I just bought this Rosewill 1000W semi-modular one and it's amazing. (got mine for 100 though)
