Scythe Infinity + Antec Solo

[Icepick]

Will the Scythe Infinity fit in an Antec Solo? I'll be using it with an Asus P5B-E.

I originally planned to get a Scythe Ninja and then heard several comments around the web that it can't be mounted on an Asus P5B board without hacking the brackets that hold it in place. I know the Ninja will fit and it's 150mm tall.

The Inifinity is 160mm tall according to the specs on Newegg. Will this still fit inside the Antec Solo?

That would be the ninja, not the infinity... but still a helpful thread because both accomodate 120mm fans, the infinity's fins are just a little thicker. I think it will fit.

That was for reference. Google for HSF dimensions and do your own math.

thermaltake bigtyphoon does. easily in fact. I think the bt is bigger then the scythe but correct me if I'm wrong.

The dimensions are already in the op. I don't know if the extra centimeter will fit. I don't know how far it will stick out when taking into account the motherboard mount, motherboard and CPU mount.

I'm just going to buy the Ninja and take a hacksaw to the mounting clip to make it fit. :evil: The motherboard will be the P5B-E.

Update: I installed the Ninja 1100 rev. B onto my new Asus P5B-E last night. The bracket fit with no hacksaw needed. There were a couple of millimeters clearance between the bracket and the capacitors near the CPU. There was enough clearance to slide a couple of sheets of paper between them.
