anyone knows what maximum height for the CPU heatsink? I'm thinking about the Apack ZEROtherm BTF90 but at frostytech.com they said it is 126mm high.

Anyone who has the case could measure the distance so I can choose the heatsink?

thanks guys.
 
It's not going to fit; go with a Thermalright SI-128 and just run it passively. That seems to be the best heatsink around for the Fusion/NSK.
 
If I remember correctly is like 116 or 118mm. The arctic freezer 7 did not fit and thats 126mm also. The heatpipes ran alittle high and the lid could not be put on. I have the NSK2400, which I assume is the same dimensions.
 
I tried an Arctic Freezer 64 Pro, and it didn't fit either. Probably 10-20mm too high iirc

Hope that helps

Yup, my 3800x2 65w is setting under a SI-128 and runs quiet and cool:)
 
I use an Arctic Freezer 64 in my NSK2400, but I modded it to fit. I removed the top three fins and folded over the heatpipes (CAREFULLY!)

It works nicely. Yay passive cooling.
 
thank you all guys.
I already have a SI-120 in my other mobo and I got pretty good results on my X2 3800.
Inside the fusion I`ll install a C2D E2140 and I wanted to try to OC it.
I'll try to find a tower heatsink that fits, until now the si-128 is on my list.
 
hey guys, I just noticed that we could use a XP-120, its dimensions are L110 x W125 x H63 (mm) and we still could use a silent 120mm fan.
The zalmans 7000 and 7700 maybe could fit.

You're not fitting a tower heatsink in there but those sinks you list all fit perfectly.
