Cooling systems that fit RNDP600E?

:( man its a tough battle to try to cool a 95watt TDP cpu in one of these cases then eh? I was looking at this one by noctua http://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-L12-Low ... B007C861WO But even with removing one of the fans, its still 65mm height - and this one is actually branded as a LOW profile :O That cooler master seidon though has a rating up to 140watt TDP if I remember correctly, it had a great review on a 125watt TDP I7 even with it overclocked. Since I can't seem to find any fan cooled solution that has a rating of at least 95 watt TDP and is also VERY low profile thanks to netgear design, it seems I'll have to push forward with the seidon. I'm not sure it needs a case mod though. If the radiator and fan is placed to blow OUT where the system fan is now, it should effectively provide enough airflow while pushing the hot air out. I am hestitant to place it in reverse, because it'll pull air in, but then the air passes over the radiator, making the air hotter that its pulling in. If this wasn't enough to keep system temperature down, i was considering just bolting a fan to the intake above where the CPU fan would've been for the fresh cool intake air. Tiny mod to the case with just a few holes. Use the CPU fan plug for the seidon, use the system fan plug for the new fan bolted above the cpu. Whatcha think?

I think this is an interesting idea. I would love to see pics once completed. However, I would not go with a Quad Core personally. It is a pretty big jump from the standard E2160 CPU to E7600 CPU without any modification on FW or HW. I only changed the fans out because my girl was complaining it was loud :s Now she doesn't even hear it. Now if I could only find a fan replacement to make her less whiny. LOL!

Note that I tried to put in a Quad Core CPU and got warnings, one of the fan's "stopped working" and my SysTemp got wayyyy to hot for my tastes. This was on the Ultra6 Plus. When I updated the CPU on the Pro Pioneer/Business with a E7600 CPU, at first it didn't even boot up. After upgrading the FW, then it booted with the E7600 with no issues.

If you like, I can try the Quad Core on the Pro Pioneer. I have all the latest FW's installed. Let me know what you think.
