Looking to build a system and want to figure what height of Air cooler will fit.
I have 173mm height above my old MB to case side but don't know how much higher this new CPU is vs my old 2500K.
Looks to be about 10mm above surface of MB but given that some coolers are 165 mm high it could be really close
Anyone know the precise number of the height of the CPU in the socket?
