The issue was likely with the side fan installed. Stock the 900 does have one, but if you choose to add one, you may have to mod your fan to get it to fit. Otherwise, you should be golden
?? sorry but im confused what are you saying?
and also, well the ultra 120 is no good without the fan installed as well, and seeing that it doesnt clear the space in the 900, any suggestions?
id like to keep the 900, good price, good air flow, nice design, but what should i do since the ultra 120 wont fit in it?
I think what eric45 is trying to say is that the fan on the side of the case where the window is will not fit, not the fan on the side of the heatsink itself. I have both the antec 900 and the thermalright ultra 120 extreme and I had to remove the fan from the side of my case when I installed the heatsink.
You may not have to remove the optional case fan though if your processor socket is located high enough up on your motherboard so that the heatsink is out of the way of the side fan. My processor however is kinda far down on the mobo because the ram dimms are located above it (and not to the side of it like on some mobos).
haha thanks, hell of a helpfull first post, welcome to the forums, though im not one to introduce you, im just a newbie myself. but since you own a 900, do you think its still worth it to get a 120 ultra if it means i have less fan in my case
