Antec 300 and aftermarket CPU cooler

Featured Replies

Hello flightsimmers,I'm saving up to upgrade at the moment and I was going to buy the i5 2500k and the Arctic Freezer 13 CPU cooler for my Z68 mobo. Will this fit in my Antec 300 case?Thanks!Frank

What the ###### did you just ######ing say about me, you little ######? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the ###### out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ######ing words. You think you can get away with saying that ###### to me over the Internet? Think again, ######. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ######ing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable &@($* off the face of the continent, you little ######. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ######ing tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will ###### fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re ######ing dead, kiddo.

The Antec 300 had a pretty big interior. You shouldn't run into any problems.

Thanks Ben!I hope the overclock goes well for me, though.

Well, if you have the money, go for the Corsair 400R. It is nearly the same size, but it has all of the bells and whistles of the higher end cases.I used to own the Antec 300 and now I am running my setup in the 400R and I love it! :smile:

A good looking case that Corsair....I wish the Antec had one of those side windows.Frank

Oh...and an other thing;does the 2500k come with a tube of thermal paste or do I have to but some?Thanks

The CPUs come with a thin layer of pre-applied thermal grease. I would recommend buying some decent stuff anyway...even if you are happy with the default paste, if for whatever reason you take a few attempts to get everything lined up and your cooler installed, you will want some spare!I have always found Arctic Silver 5 to be just fine.

Cheers!

Thanks for your advice. I will buy some thermal paste then.

My Intel i5-2500K did not have any thermal paste applied to it but the cooling fan included with the CPU did have a pre-applied patch of some thermal compound on it that transferred to the CPU when the fan was mated to it and the motherboard. You would also get some thermal past provided with most aftermarket coolers.I have read that the Arctic Silver 5 is the best around at this stage.

Thanks for the additional info. Just to make sure I will buy some thermal grease though as this is my first time installing a CPU and heatsink and fan.
