How much clearance between the side of a P182 and a Ultra120
Can anyone tell me how much clearance there is between their P182/P180 and an Ultra 120 Extreme? Id like to know because I want to put some sound dampening, but I've heard reports that there's barely 2mm between the side of the case and the top of the Ultra 120.

They are Yate Loon D12SL-12's which I bought here. From all my research, they seem to be a good choice at a good price. I had Nexus fans in my last build (replaced Panaflo's) and liked them very much.Wibla wrote:yamahaSHO: what fans are those?
Agreed! You could always cut a hole(s) to get around the cooler and/or heat pipes.[/url]Wibla wrote: .. you can still use sound dampening, just not around the cpu cooler.

yeah, in P182 the motherboard place was moved few mm forward, so cabling system would be fit better. 2 or 3 mm was that?Alex wrote:Hi!
I am a happy owner of a P180B. And I want to put an Ultra 120 Extreme in it very soon.
I guess there is some more clearance in the P180B than in the P182 or am I wrong?:?
Question: where did you get the fan clips to put that Yate-Loon on the front of the drive bay? I was going to use zip-ties, but if a custom set of clips is available, I'll do that instead.yamahaSHO wrote:They are Yate Loon D12SL-12's which I bought here.

Are you talking about the one just in front of the video card? If so, those clips came with the case itself. You can contact Antec for them I'm sure.Airshark wrote:Question: where did you get the fan clips to put that Yate-Loon on the front of the drive bay?

Hmm, my case didn't come with those clips. Gonna have to drop Antec a note.yamahaSHO wrote:Are you talking about the one just in front of the video card? If so, those clips came with the case itself.

Hmm
In the European manual, they say you should get clips for the middle fan - I guess this is the one you are talking about. It is on Page 1:

You will also find some wiring with marked connectors
(USB, PWR etc.), installed I/O panel, a box containing the top fan spoiler, drive rails for 5.25â€

Bleh I'm too OCD to cut holes in the sound dampening
Any info on clearance between Tuniq Tower and the side of a P182 then?
Would it be enough to fit this 17mm thick sound dampening (or at least the 7mm)?

Also, is there enough room to put 7mm thick sound dampening on the opposite side of the P182 (where the power supply cables are routed through)? I'll be using a Corsair 620w if it helps.
Thanks for all the help btw, so many pics
In addition... uh... If I do go with the Tuniq Tower, is the default fan satisfactory? Or would it be a good idea to replace it with this

I could care less about its 400 lower max RPM, since it's only about 5C difference at load on a heavily OC'd rig right?
