Cooler for unclocked G4400?

Not going to be clocking so it's simply for cooling and aesthetics. Max height if the tiny case is 155-160mm. Quieter the better :rolleyes:

Cheap, you'll be able to wind the fan right down and still have good cooling.

Edit: missed the height requirement. It's 159mm so might be too big.

I stuck one of these on the wifes G3420 and it keeps it nice and cool while being very quiet at the same time. Her case is the compact Sharkoon CA-M Micro ATX Case so airflow is limited but the cooler does a fine job. She uses the cpu's onboard gpu as well.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Arctic Alpine 11 Pro Rev.2 CPU Cooler= £8.99

Total: £15.01
(includes shipping: £6.02)

Yup, default to the evo usually but it's too tight this time.
