Will Ultra-90 fit?

[Peteman100]

I want to upgrade my CPU cooler. Does anyone know if I will have any problems fitting a Thermaltake Ultra-90 into my Antec Sonata II case? Thanks for your help!

Do you mean Thermalright Ultra-90? The dimensions of my Thermalright Ultima-90 are bigger than the Ultra-90, and it fit my Sonata case.

Ultra 90
147mm high

Ultima 90
139mm high

Sonata II
207mm capacity

Looks like you are good to go.

I'd advise against the Ultra-90 and go with the Ultima-90

Woops, I must've mixed something up with my size comparison. Regardless, the 120mm fan I have on my Ultima-90 sticks out well above the top of the heatsink, and there was still room.

Whoops. I definitely meant Thermalright. But thank you all for your help on the matter!

I know it isn't quite as good, but the Ultra is about $30 cheaper. And it is only temporary, as I will be building a new computer this summer. Is your only reason for recommending the Ultima due to the 120mm fan?

Also double the number of heatpipes.

And the extra heatpipes. And more fin area.

And if it was $30 cheaper, wouldn't that mean the Ultra-90 is about... $10? (at that price, I'd get it).

You can find the ultras for about $20, was thinking of picking it up for a light OCed opteron 170 since it's so cheap.

 

[Peteman100]

Yeah, I picked it up for $18. Seemed totally worth it to me.
