Title says it all.
I'm stuck trying to find a HSF for my new C2D build. I plan on some OC'ing and was looking at the Tuniq 120 and the new CM Hyper 6+ but neither will fit my case. As noted, I have a CM Praetorian 730 case. This is no small case either, but there is less than 130mm distance between the side panel and the top of the motherboard standoffs as mounted in the slide-out mobo tray. With mobo and CPU mounted, there's obviously even less clearance, I'd guess maybe 10 or 15mm less. And that's after removing the sidepanel fan and shroud ...
I've read a bazillion reviews and the HSF guide here in AT Forums, but I'm no closer to a decision. At this point, I'm leaning towards the Zalman 9500.
