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

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?

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.
