Cooler help needed asap

[shmiffy24]

I am looking for a CPU cooler upgrade.

Phenom II x4 955 (3.2 Ghz)
CM Storm Scout

i would like the h70 but the top case fan would have to be removed.

1) is it worth removing the top case fan?
2) Could i front mount it in the 5.25" drive bays pulling in air from the front?

3) should i instead buy teh h50 and rear mount it without removing the top case fan.. what should i do if i have to remove the top fan with the h50 also?

Thanks.

You'll need to remove the rear case fan with either of those coolers and not the top fan.. You, in most cases, cannot install it in the front drive bay as the tube length is not that much..

When i check teh clearances.. it appears that the top fan will need to be removed if i am to use a fan on either side of the rad.
