hey i just got my i7 into a slim CM elite 360 (great small case by the way, and only 30$) i need a new aftermarket fan cooler for it though, i been googleing to find the height of the stock i7 cooler so i get get one around the same size. I’m looking at the CM germin II S which stands at only 88mm according to frostytech. im not sure if it will fit my case tho, if anyone know or find how tall the stock cooler is or know if it will fit the elite 360, please let me know. Also if anyone has any recommendations for a cpu, mem, hard drive, ect temp monitoring software please let me know.

Well, your average fan is 100mm+, so I think that germin will fit nicely. How it performs though is another matter.

Actually, you raise a good question; there seems to be no info on the i7 stock cooler's height.
