Would the thermalright ultra 120 extreme fit in HAF 922?

I already bought the HAF 922 and was wondering if TRUE fits in it with the fans comfortably. Also what about the V8 or the dark knight?

TRUE should fit - what's your CPU?

If you have a socket 1366 CPU (i.e. i7 9xx) then make sure you get a Revision C TRUE because of the properly machined flat base. Similarly, don't bother with the V8 because it's rubbish at cooling an overclocked i7 9xx.

If you're on socket 775 or an AMD chip then you'll be fine regardless.

Unless it explicitly says "Rev C" in the name it's not. Plus you can also tell because the Rev C extreme and TRUE Black Rev C have a boomerang-shaped hole cut into the fins from the bottom.

By the way, the only difference between the Ultra 120 Extreme and TRUE Black is the colour, and the 1366 RT has a fan bundled with it - all 3 permutations are the same cooler.
