Default Need your thoughts on something.

I just purchased a Xigatek Dark Knight cpu heat sink. I own a hp m8020n computer 2007 model. I did some comparisons to dimensions of both my computers case and the heat sink. From what I found the height of the cpu heatsink is 159mm = 6.2 inches and my case's width is about 7.2 inches will the dark knight still fit into my case without any problems, I'm reading everywhere that people are having trouble fitting it into their cases and im gunna be pretty mad if it doesn't end up fitting. So whats your opinion, am i screwed or will everything turn out okay?

It should be ok, but maybe a bit of a tight squeeze! If it doesnt fit you could always mod your case like a car with a blower, cut a hole to fit lol......
