be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 in jonsbo u2

unknownofprob · Apr 24, 2014

yes it should, to be sure, just measure the space from the motherboard to edge of the SECC steel (side). It needs at least 138mm (which is not enough), make sure you have 160mm just to be sure for space.

Hi Rxco
According to your case specs that maximum cpu cooler height you can use in the Jonsbo u2 is 175mm
the dark rock pro2 has a height of 166mm
so given that i would say yes you can fit that cpu cooler in your case no probs

Yes it should. I personally do not like Be Cool products though.

I prefer the Quiet, Noctua NH-D14's

rxco · Apr 25, 2014

Will the D14 fit?

mickypheonix · Apr 25, 2014

the Nh d14 height is 160mm so yes it will fit

mickypheonix · Apr 25, 2014

be aware the NH D14 is a twin tower heatsink and may encroach on your ram slots

rxco :

Yes and I own one for re-assurance, it cools amazingly and offers superb quietness. Though some people think the colour scheme looks weird, it looks quite good when you really see it. It does take over some ram slots but it will still take low profile ram, which ram doesn't tend to get hot so a heatsink is really worthless.

What about the Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E? I know that the D14 and the silver arrow are pretty close in terms of performance.

unknownofprob · Apr 25, 2014

Noctua comes to the best when it comes to high performance air coolers.

mickypheonix · Apr 25, 2014

The silver arrow is comparable to the nhd14 at 160mm high would also fit , once again a great cooler but a twin tower heatsink , i would recommend the nzxt havik 140
being a single tower , but at 166mm high its too close to fit

rxco · Apr 25, 2014

I think there would be clearance issues with the silver arrow and d14 if I am going to use my graphics card with it

mickypheonix · Apr 25, 2014

opt for a good single tower solution or something like this ,

no probs with ram or card then

unknownofprob · Apr 25, 2014

the Noctua NH-D14 only takes up the first slot, and if you have some other X16 slots below the first one, you will be able to fit the Noctua and graphics card nicely.

will an h80 fit? i only see people saying h60

mickypheonix · Apr 25, 2014

mickypheonix · Apr 25, 2014
