yes, was the case chassis...didn't knew it could be that mounted inside the case...saw briefly some mounted like that but was when external mounting.

Well the Intel core is 37mm thick and the Corsair 38mm so they fall a bit short of the 50mm KB. They are the ones in my price range and even the ones up from that are the same thickness.

The colour of thee fans is not really of any importance to me personally as I don't like windowed cases anyway I prefer to have grilled solid sides to fit my own filtering materials to as those manufacturers ones are a bit ordinary IMHO. Having said that I don't mind the coloured fans on the front intakes.

By the way nice inner set up!!

My mistake then......I thought they were in the 45-50mm range. The Intel's radiator is the "bigger" size, it's not as thin as the value oriented ones. In cooling, wider radiators help quite a bit.

No probs KB I might just go the Intel or the Corsair H70 I think as both are a nice round shape and not just a great square chunk of block. Mind you I am inclined toward the Intel just because the reviews are stating it is designed with that 130 watt 2011 stuff in mind.

Yeah, it will work with everything up to and including the Socket 2011 Sandy Bridge-E processors. It does a good job with my 3570K! Even at 4.5GHz, which is ~25% OC, it never got above 60*C!

Will do for me then
