Cooling question...

[cycleman77]

I am not sure what cpu fan I should get. I'm stuck between the Dragon Orb series or the Volcano series. Both are by Thermaltake. They both look good, number wise.

Are they too big for the enlight 7237?

i have the volcano2, it works well, but a whole bunch more have been released since i got that one, wha are you going to use it for (cooling obviously) are you going to OC or run at stock? what speed?..

I usually get stock, but just recently I started overclocking.
I am going to get a 1.33 Athlon. I don't know how far I will go.
I definately do not want to fry anything.

My other question was about space. I don't want to buy a cooler and find out it doesn't fit.

Either would work reasonably good!

Does any one know about space? Will Dragon Orbs and Volcanos will fit in the Enlight 7237 without blocking or disrubting anything?

The question about a HSF being able to use on a specific case is seldom asked. Instead it's a question on what type of mobo you will be using it to. Usually the case is not the limiting factor instead it's the mobo.

I'm getting the Epox 8K7A.

unless you have a custom hsf (i.e. two different ones put together, or homemade solution), you should not have any problems with any hsf you buy. and im pretty sure that you wont have a problem with the volcano 2, as many people on this forum use both it and the enlight 7237 (i personally have an enlight case). as for the orb fan, i think it is smaller than the volcano2, so it shouldn't be a problem either.

cycleman77: Yes, the Volcano II will work with the Epox 8k7a. I highly recommend it.
