Jumping right into it. Building a core i7 system... Antec Mini P180 for the case... tossing the idea back and forth as to which HSF to use.

Currently I'm looking at...

Noctua NH-U12P SE1366
Scythe Ninja Mini

Will the Noctua fit in the Mini P180?

Being mindful, I will be using three Noctua NF-P12 fans (2 Intake, 1 Exhaust) and the stock 200mm fan in the top of the case.

Sound/db does not matter as I have a fan running in this room at all times...
 
there is a good thread on best cheapest best most expensive HSFs

it is on here somewhere, I will post if I find it
 
best cheapest: xigmatech
best most expensive: megahalem/TRUE

am i rite?
 
He might be limited by the size of teh case... Though if the pricey Noctua heatsink he mentioned fits, then the cheaper and equally good Xigmatek S1283 will fit as well I believe.
 
Price is of little concern. I only need low maintenance lol. But ya... no idea what will fit in the mini p180.
 
Price is little concern.. I would suggest water cooling it then. Youll spend a little penny on a good HSF combo anyway, spend just a few more dollars and do a simple water cooled solution.

Get a GOOD mobo with GOOD mosfet and chip coolers too.
 
Water cooling is higher maintenance than what I'm looking for. Plus, there aren't very many micro-atx options out there for motherboards.
