Will this heatsink/cooler fit in this case.

Hi im new to the forums and was planning on buying a new computer within a month and was wondering if a ZALMAN CNPS9500 LED (4.9 in tall) would fit inside a Aerocool Extremengine 3t Case (7.9 in). The reason I am asking this is since the Case has a fan mounted on the size that might prevent the case from closing once the heatsink is installed. Thanks ahead of time.

Get a piece of cardboard 4.9 inches tall, fold it into a box, place it on top of your CPU while case is laying on its side, and try to close the side panel...

The side fan might come close to touching the top of the Zalman. Try using any device to check clearance.
