Will this work as a chipset cooler as well? Also wondering the dimensions of the cpu side.

if you got it to mount you could probably use it for a chipset cooler. but to modify it and get to work probably be too big a pain in the butt. dimensions are on the coolermaster website.

Looks like a CPU fan so depends on your motherboard really, it will fit in this case

Your cooler depends a lot on the case. I had a "Ice Warrior" cooler on mine when it was in a full ATX case and it barely fit. (Boy did it keep it cool though!) The CPU placement on the MOBO is high and close to the corner so I noticed it's compatibility was less than my other LGA 775 MOBOs. A Stock Intel cooler sits on it now. It's not the best, but it works. Any aftermarket case will be better than a stock Dell. Many can even be had with PSU's in them already for a minimal price. This form factor is the most versatile so anywhere from M-ATX to Full ATX will house this MOBO well. Your cooler depends a lot on the case.

Actually it is designed for PC case. So, if you want to use it on CPU, you have to make sure its size can fit your CPU heat sink.

Looks that way. Here's a build with corsair pro series mem and that cooler - http://pcpartpicker.com/b/NQjXsY Also a close up screen shot: http://cdn.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuild/77728.b1a24f5062662cd6304f73aea92df294.cd0b1fb3efe5864472ef205f8d51fd0b.jpg

If I had to hazard a guess, I would go with probably yes. I am using the same heatsink in a 4U rackmount chassis made by Rosewill that is listed as 7" high. (Equivalent to width on a desktop, since rackmounts are effectively rotated 90 degrees.) This case is 7.25" wide, so it appears to have a bit more room, likely for adding fans on the side panel, however there also may be more space between the motherboard tray and the side panel behind it (for cable routing.) If you use this heatsink, expect to not use a fan in the top position on the side panel. It may work, but it may not have enough clearance.

Noooooooo, maybe if the side panel was exposed. This things height would be nearly the height of the x51 case if it was sitting flat. Its not super tall, but it is wide. Wide enough that I had to take empty out the nearest RAM slot closest to the CPU just to install it. I have a Thermaltake A30, and it doesn't fit with the Power Supply directly above the CPU. There was about half an inch of a gap I couldn't clear. I ended up punching out a window on the side and got a Corsair H60 instead.

There would be enough space if you use low profile DDR memory cards. However, this is the best CPU Cooler I ever had and still silent after 10 month of use.

It will fit in the case without an issue. But you will need board and cpu like Chris said.

msi motherboard, amd processor, fm2 socket and absolutely not a chance in hell it was fitting. Agian, not artic's fault. look at how the old cooler is attached. is it clipped or does it have pins. ? that should start you in the right directiion

Yes, but make sure you read the maximum cooling for this unit.....it will only cool UP TO a 65W CPU. It also attaches from the backside of the motherboard....which means you must install it BEFORE placing the motherboard into your chosen case

No Sadly. This is an AM3+ socket, as the CPU you want has a FM2 socket. FM2 has a big hole in the middle, so watch, as Am3+ does not. Hope this can help! :D

Yes you can. Watch out for aftermarket cpu coolers. You might have to mod the case like I did to get a coolermaster evo to fit.

It clamps onto the CPU like any other fan, so I would imagine if the footprint of your CPU is the same that it would fit. Have you thought about comparing the Intel chip sizes with the AMD sizes?

I took a look at the specs for that chassis and it looks like as long as you have the stock CPU fan and low profile RAM you will be okay. That being said you ventilation is probably going to be crap as the card is going to take up a large amount of space, but yes it appears it will fit.

I Adjusted my stand to fit your 7.25 inch cpu and the outside width of the stand will then be 10.25 inches, so it seems that it won't work for you. I hope I am not missing anything here but I think I have your question clear. The stand will be 3 inches wider than any cpu size that you put inside.

Yes It will Fit , however if you want to push your cpu to Higher than the stock 3.9 this may not cool your cpu enough , but otherwise this is a great cooler and will work great at stock speeds
