I think you mean the "The Deep" model, which seems to be about the same width X height, but as you say twice as deep.
Looks very good and would only cost me about another £9 over the "Black Ice Pro".
I think it's the rad which is the stumbling block at the moment, because I'm here with case temps of 28C and CPU temp of 41C.
With the previous setup I had case temps of 32C and CPU temps of 37C. So I think with the proper rad I should be on my way to getting it about right.
Blowing air through at the moment are 2 X cheapo 80mm fans which must be responsible for the reduction in case temps, but the rad is borking the job by not releasing the heat effectively.
I think I'll give it another week to let the system bed in, but will probably get one of those "The Deep" rads, so that I'm ready for next summer

Cheers
Chris.
