Awwwwww crap. Just what I was afraid of. That's to big. The maximum possible length I can have is 11 1/2" and that would be making things really, really tight. See, the length from the PSU rack to the front of my case is 11 5/8" so that's pretty much what I have to work with. I've thought about making a big shroud type thing that would screw onto the top of my case (it would look kinda like the Koolance setups) but I don't think I trust my modding skills enough for that. I'm not sure, I'll keep considering it.
Well, thanks for measuring that for me. I'm glad I was able to find that out before I rushed out to buy one. Now back to the HC Database to find a different core
