Hello,
I am trying to find a better CPU cooler that would fit on Asus P5E / Antec 900 without doing any moification of removal, I’ve been doing lots of research for which cooler would fit in the Antec, so far I have got the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler or ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm 2 Ball Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler, I was consider getting the Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme or Tuniq 120 but I can't find any usefull information whether it fits my case or not. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a good CPU cooler for my PC. Thanks you in advance.

Well the Tuniq Tower fit in my Antec 900 but it was really tight. Also with it in you can't have the side fan so that kinda blows. I'm using Gigabyte's GA-P35-DS3L and the power cord for the processor is in the same area as your mobo and getting the 4 pin power cord to the processor was a bitch and a half.

How about the zalman 9500-9700?

I have the 9700 and it works great on my am2 board which is even closer to the ram slots and sinks without interference.

Thermalright also makes a ultra 90 cooler that is a fair but shorter, but still cools very well.
