THE QUESTION YOU SHOULD BE ASKING IS....
..........................................................will it fit in my case.
Will it interferr with the video card?

Measure your case, what is the depth. 8) Will it fit height wise?

Thermaltake Big Typhoon: Looking for an air cooler that can actually get the job done? If you have the space, you'll want to checkout the Big Typhoon.

If you have the space. a REVIEW. :arrow:

Measuring 122 x 122 x 103 mm and 813 grams for the heatsink alone, we had some problems with the installation into our Cooler Master Wave Master as the fan would not let the motherboard tray slide into the case. Removing the 120mm fan temporarily fixed this, but those of you with SFF PCs, or anything smaller than a midtower ATX case should forget about this cooler as it will probably not fit.

There are a total of six heat pipes running from the base to the aluminum fins. The heatpipes are broken into two sets of three, each of them with a dedicated block of fins for cooling. This design (along with the small base) should allow ample clearance on most motherboards. We did not have any problems with our EPoX 925XE board with the Big Typhoon.

BASE cLEARANCE SHOULD BE OK, DUE TO ITS DESIGN.

However it is a very tall heatsink with a 120mm fan ontop :!:

The height of the thing is 103mm
The 122 mm x 122mm is the 120 mm fan.

Beware, your PSU MIGHT stop it from fitting. In fact I think because
your CPU slot is at the top..(new boards have cpu central now for this reason)...it depends on the case you have.

Start measuring....all the best...
