Will a Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme CPU Cooler fit in a Lian li PC-61?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112025

if not...whats a good option for oc'ing a E6750? (dont wanna buy a new case atm)

edit: also how do you hook scythe fans up to said heatsink? and which fans do you recommend? is 1 sufficient? Do they come with some kind of clip mechanism? I'm looking into buying a new system and trying out OC'ing. Still have a lot of research to do but this is a good start.

thanks in advance
 
Well.................. according to the Thermalright website, the Ultra120 Extreme boasts a height of 160.5mm, while perusing the Newegg website for your case, the Lian li PC-61 is 6" in width.

The formula for changing inches into millimeters is

inches x 25.4 = mm

So...... 8 x 25.4 = 203.2, so by the raw numbers it should fit, however this obviously isn't the case as the motherboard isn't going to be flush with the back panel of your case. I'd say with a random number of 1.5" added (probably way too high) to compensate for the motherboard tray, we come to the problem of 160.5+38.1=198.6. Meaning if the specifications on Newegg are correct, you'd have a clearance of ~4.6mm.

So to answer your question: it'll probably be somewhat of a tight fit :D

Edit: Seems on Google you can find the answer right away by typing "will a thermalright ultra 120 fit in a Lian li PC-61", the response you want is this one: http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp?s=2&c=6&t=11737
In short, the responses claim it fits.
 
If not, it will be close and you can do what I do in my P-180, just bend the door around it :)
