I bent the heatpipes so that it sits just in front of my 120mm exhaust fan just like this... http://www.silentpcreview.com/files/images/noiseless_pc/2a.jpg. It is a perfect fit and with a quiet fan which I undervolted to 5v it keeps the CPU really cool. Now that is really quiet.
You could have done a little extra with a more powerful fan or with the stock fan at full speed. I know it loses the point of a cooler being capable or not out-of-the-box but since you say that with a more powerful fan it could make Fenrir fear, it would be nice.
If that was proven true, Gelid could really make that extreme one. Think of it as Top Gear reviewing the Koenigsegg, they said if the car had a wing, it could fare much better. Later on, Koenigsegg followed TG tip and the car worked even better than the original wingless

well if going up against the above why not vs akasa freedom tower too :-) ?
The main reason for me wanting to know about the Freezer 7 Pro is because the original was so popular and that the V2 has extra socket compatibility. I would hazard a guess that the majority of people with Core2 CPUs are running the Freezer 7 Pro if they haven't already upgraded. The V2 also hits a great price point too if the performance is up to it.

Well, simply add 153mm to the height of your CPU socket from the motherboard - difference cases have different sized standoffs - and then deduct it from the distance to your case side panel (minus any fans on it).
Wow, ok, I read the original response all wrong. Not sure WHY, but for some reason I read it as 1.153mm and thought "tips of the heat-pipes" was referring to the small heat-sink component on the copper base...don't ask why, but thank you for the clarification. I'll shut up now.
The Titan Fenrir may be (one of) the best for air cooling. However, it weighs in at approx. 1.1Kg, which I find way too heavy for a cooler, no matter how it's mounted. Even the Tranquillo at 640g comes in a bit too much on the heavy side for my taste.
For what it's worth, I'm mostly interested in the best air cooler weighing around 500g, preferably using top-down cooling and using a mounting solution with a backplate instead of those horrid (Intel) push pins. Never could figure out why they abandoned the mounting method introduced with the P4.
I have this heatsink, it is good using the intel core i5 750 clocked at 2.8ghz
Idle temperature are at around 27 degrees, under load at 100% using prime 95 temperatures are only at 42.
I am unsure why my idle temperature is that high, but I have never had any problems with it.

Mentioned right at the start of page 1. 153mm high from base to the tips of the heatpipes.
