It should fit. You'll need about 70mm of space inside you case for the backside cooler to fit. LINK

any particular reason as to why you want to buy that one? The de-facto king of Air Cooling is the Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120, and for the same price you can get the new Nickel Black one

Thanks for the link broken...azianai I have been reading and looking reviews,tests etc.... and the IFX-14 kept coming up, and after looking I had it down to 3, the ultra was one of them, I just decided it was the best performer. I was not swayed by this link, but it helped.

But I will go research a little bit more on the thermalright Ultra Extreme 120.

I think the one sought after does really well passive only though. Not sure, but I think the XP-120 did passive up to a point, and then needed that 120mm fan. I think, dunno for sure. Only used the XP-90.

Black nickle you say? Like gun metal? I love's the gun metal, but can't tell from the pics on their site.

i dont recomend the ifx unless you have a flat bed system.

Meaning horizontal mount. The sink is uber heavy and it requires a good lap job on top of that.

On a quadcore if mounted sideways, the torque from the sink will gaurentee your core temps to be off.

Anyhow ive been playing with the sink.

Its not something nice to play with on a verticle mount.
