Thermalright IFX-14, WILL IT FIT?! :O

[computernewbie]

So seeing how huge the thermalright ifx-14 is, wondering if it'll fit on a asus p6t deluxe v2 MB, with radeon 4890 in CF, if anyone has this cooler, please do tell if it would fit or not. Also, does this cooler have any issues? Like because of its size it loosens its mount or something like that, little tips

Which pc case do you have?

OK! The power supply in an Antec Twelve Hundred case is installed in the bottom of the case. It will not interfere with the heat pipe extension and extra cooling fins at the top. I looked at the IFX-14 installation manual and that seemed to be the main concern. I also took a look at photos of the Asus P6T motherboard. It does not appear as if cpu heatsink will interfere with any of the motherboard components. You should be okay.

Here's a link to an excellent technical review over at xbitlabs:

I strongly suggest you read the entire review and then decide if the heatsink meets your personal requirements.

will do, i just thought of picking it because it has good cooling and can support 3 120mm fans, or 140mm fans was it..

Hi,

thermalright says yes :

But you need the "intel bp" one. I think it's the same as the old one but with I7 backplate.

I have the IFX-14, I like it a lot (with 2x120mm).
