Will my Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme fit in my NZXT Lexa S, since the TRUE is a pretty large heat sink

The answer to your question is no.

The NZXT Lexa S case is only 7.72 inches (196 mm) wide. That is not wide enough for a 160mm tall cpu heatsink such as the Thermalright Ultra 120. You will need a case that is at least 8 inches (204 mm) wide to accomodate a large heatsink.

So do u suggest any other good cpu cooler (hopefully as good as the above one ) ??

 

[JohnnyLucky]

It would have to be a low profile cpu heatsink:

How about a Noctua NH-U12P SE2 it's height is 126mm is it any good compared to the TRUE ????

I'm sorry my mistake the NH-U12P SE2 Nine Blade Design is 156mm

I have a side window so that will give some extra space and i'm fine if it touches the side window...i have read good reviews about TRUE so really keen on taking that
