A is not a cube. A cube is when each dimension (WHD) is same

I think he means cube-ish.

Did you know rip had a double meaning? It is an anacronym for Rest In Peace.

More or less; however, you could fit an A28 (rated for 180ish watts), an R31 (165 watts), or something of the like with a high CFM fan above it.

 

I do agree that it is tight; however, you could use a C7 or a NH-L9.

That's also why for one of the 55mm height coolers I added the Water Cooling option.
