hi guys im planning on upgrading my pc. i already have the motherboard and planning to get an i5 4670k and i want the phanteks cooler to cool it . but it is a 140mm fan cooler and the tj07 does not look big enough to support it im wondering if anyone else has had this issue

Looked here,
http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=92
and it says;"Limitation of CPU cooler 162mm".
At the phantek site,
http://phanteks.com/PH-TC14PE.html
it says;"Heatsink Dimensions with Dual Fans 159 x 140 x 171mm (LxWxH)",so it wont fit.

Maybe some other options after a quick search,like the next three,
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-cpu-cooler-phtc12dx (comes in other colors too and quite cheap,the other color options are more expensive)
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhd14 (one of the best)
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/zalman-cpu-cooler-cnps12x (has got blue led fans so take that into account if you don't like that or do,is also the least high of these three=154mm high)
for a...

I took another look and maybe the next two will look better with your motherboard,
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/phanteks-cpu-cooler-phtc12dxbk
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/be-quiet-cpu-cooler-bk017
a review about the latter in which both phantecs and the be qiet are compared,
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/beQuiet/DarkRockPro2/6.html
Also look at the page where it is mounted->"finished looks",it's hughe.Not something where you want to have tall heat spreaders on your ram.Almost half that motherboard disappears.
