calling people with HR-02/large HSF in NSK3480
Posted: Sat Nov 24, 2012 10:53 pm
This is particularly about the Antec NSK-3480 case. I notice several people on these boards using Thermalright's HR-02 (macho?) heatsink in the NSK3480.. I've based a lot of my heatsink research on this. Are you using the rev.A or B version of the cooler? it's pretty important because the 'macho 120' is 12mm shorter than the rev.A version (150 and 162mm respectively) according to Thermalright's website.. also, how much clearance is there between the side panel and the heatsink?
This goes out to other people using the largest of HSF's in the NSK3480 too.. I'm planning to fit either a Noctua NH-D14, Alpenfohn K2 or a Phanteks TC14PE - basically, dual radiator coolers.. i initially planned for the D14 but its lack of pwm fans and me going for a motherboard that really, needs pwm fans put me off it. If the older 162mm HR-02 fits i should be able to get any of the above units in and i'm tempted to go for the TC14PE due to its easily replaceable pwm adapted fans and (ever so slightly) better performance than the D14 in reviews
does anyone have a dual radiator/140mm fan cooler in one of these cases? how well does it fit? i'm not ruling out the HR-02 but if i'm going to spend that much on a heatsink i might as well fit the best, if it fits.. fiddly isn't a concern or i wouldn't be going micro ATX in the first place. actually fitting, of course, is
man i love building pc's.. been too long
