Opinions needed for S478 HSF in smaller case...

[taisingera]

I have a Antec SLK3700AMB and P4P800SE mobo with a Zalman 7000B-AlCu as a HSF. I'm looking to buy a smaller case for this setup. I'm considering

Antec NSK4400

or a In-Win S605B
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811108040

because these offer enough space but are 1.5" smaller in depth, 2" smaller in height and .5" smaller in width than my current case. However, with the 7000B-AlCu, you need 1 cm space between the PSU and Mobo Retention Guide, see here, http://www.zalman.co.kr/product/cooler/7000(AB)_478MBlist_eng.htm.

Just by doing some cut/paste work, I see that the cooler won't fit the In-Win, but anybody know if it will fit with the Antec case?

Go for an XP-90. Thats plenty of cooling for any Northwood chip.

Don't really need all the space of the current case, and I'm looking for something smaller. I thought about getting a mATX case and mobo, but I think I will just buy a case because I 'm thinking about building a new system later in the year.

Hrm...

Well, that setup you've got (in your sig) is still worth some dough on eBay -- all premo stuff!

Personally, I wouldn't take a chance on burning it up, but that's your call.

To play it safe, I'd go with a TT BT HSF... 😉
