Cooling systems that fit RNDP600E?

Hmm when you mention your Noctua 80x80x25mm - that must be just the fan itself? Not including heatsink? I'm a gelid fan, so I was looking at their slim products: this one more desirable, but is larger http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/ ... d=91&tab=2 this one more slim, and very close to the 80x80x25 even WITH heatsink. (all dimensions are clearly spelled out on specs page - unlike other manufacturers) By eyeballing things, I'm pretty sure the liquid cooling Cooler Master will work well: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Coo ... B009SJR3GS Frees up space on the CPU, and replaces the system fan which seems to have enough space for the radiator/fan combo...

The Gelid solutions looks interesting. I don't know the total height yet. When I change my CPU out of the Business Pro, I will advise. If the Gelid fan + heatsink is <= the 25mm + whatever the heatsink height is, then it will work. My only concern at that point is mounting the hatsink on the board. But it should work...

The Cooler Master will definitely need a case mode.

Don't know if I like this solution as the side fan draws air into the case and out the back. Maybe you can have it where you drill into the case where the 80mm is currently, make sure you are pulling in rather than pulling out. That might be OK, but I personally don't like to mod cases. I just like the look of original on the outside, and beast on the inside. That is juts my opinion.

Once I get the dimensions of the current Noctua fan + the heatsink and post back to compare. It obviously needs to be <= 59 mm for the Gelid.
