CPU cooler in Antec P190

[ainarssems]

Can somebody recomend CPU HSF to fit in Antec P190 case. I have got Scythe Ninja Plus revission B and it is too high. I cannot fit side pannel unless I remove side fan. I would rather keep side fan and change CPU HSF. It must have good cooling capability to cool overclocked Q9450 without being too loud.

I think there is no way any of coolers with 120mm fan will fit. So probably looking for a 92mm.

hi, i am looking at the p190 also and after a long study into this case and emailing antec on this question they said the max height for a cpu is 120mm. And the cpu i am looking at is the noctua nh-c12p or the thermalright axp-140 when the reviews are posted. Hope this helps.

Ended up buying mini ninja, almost as good as full size

I have the p190 also and am looking at the NH-C12P.
I already have it on order, but I whipped out the ruler last night and basically confirmed for myself that you would definitely not fit anything over 120mm. Even something as high as 120mm might not fit.
Anyway I think I remember reading somewhere that the Noctua is 114mm, which is pretty close.

So just wanted to confirm if anyone has or knows of anyone fitting this cooler in the p190?

Cheers
