I have a AEROCOOL ExtremEngine 3T case and a Antec NSK 4400 case will either of those HSF fit in the case? I am sure it will fir in the 3T if I move the 250mm side fan to the outside. Also do I have to order a backplate the website said I have to order the plate seperate? Anyways that was for the ULTRA120 and not sure about the Tuniq. The reason I include both is cause they are both great heatsinks and not sure which to get. The mobo is a DS3 rev 2.0 and the site says they will fit but is there anyone here with a similar combo who can help or show some pics? The fam i'm going to use at first will be a 120mm Antec tri-cool 78cfm fan. Will it be enough to keep it cool with the exhaust fan in the case behind it? Has eanyone created a duct from the sink to the case fan? I can't wait to get this so I can get my 805 to at least 3.6-3.8 on air before I sell it to my friend at work for his new rig. Thanks sorry for long post and if this is in the wrong area.

Does anyone have any info on this issue it would really help?

Go for the Tuniq Tower!

Judging by the width of both the cases (which is around 8'' for each) the Tuniq should fit, but it will probably be a snug fit. My Armor is only .7'' larger width-wise than both of those two cases, and the Tuniq fits without a problem. So you should be fine!

That tri-cool fan is perfect for the job.

edit- Forgot about that side fan on that first case, not so positive anymore if you'll be able to fit either of those HSF's in there. I still think you would be able to, but you're taking more of a risk with that first case.

Thanks and love the sig it is Demitri Martin right? I love the 120 though what is cheaper? Tuniq looks way bigger but.......confused???

Still hard decision?

The Thermalright is just slightly better than the Tuniq, but you can't go wrong with either. They're both top tier in the air cooling world.

If you can fit the Thermalright, go for it. Otherwise get the Tuniq. Judging by the dimensions of the case and the heatsinks, I'd say the Tuniq would fit better. Though both may require the fan to be moved to the outside, in which case you'd be able to fit the Thermalright (probably).

another shorter option to consider is the scythe ninja which cools just as/almost a tuniq.
