I currently have a Silverstone NT06-e and a Silverstone Tundra TD3 at my disposal. To be honest I do not yjink it is possible to get an AIO in the Carbide 240 case given the depth of the radiator alone then the need to add a fan

The NT06-E is a nice low profile cooler but will it support a modest overclock?

I have looked at the Dark Rock TF but feel it is to expensive for my needs and budget. Another one is an updated Silverstone NT06-PRO but is it any better than the one I have. Then there is the rathe neat little Cryorig C7

Max hieght I have is around 110mm but I really do not like these great big tower coolers purely as to me they are ugly. Same goes with the Noctua fans. Great coolers I am told but no way am I having that colour fan in my case.:D

Are there are others I could look at?

I narrowed it down to a shortlist of 5.

Thermalright AXP-100 Muscle But this does not come with the adapter plate which the AXP 100 had so means I cannot use a 120mm fan of my choice.
[Silverstone NT06-PRO Nitrogon Still in the frame.
Noctua NH-L12[/URL] Not good if you overclock according to Silverstone.
Silverstone Tundra TD02-SLIM
Be Quiet Dark Rock TF


That is very interesting

AIOs work fine in the 240, I've had one in there.

Thanks I was advised of this http://images.bit-tech.net/content_...es-air-240-review/air240_blk_11-1280x1024.jpg and this http://www.hardocp.com/article/2015...air_240_compact_pc_case_review/5#.VyxWexH2ZlY.

If you get the dark rock, youll need to remove the top fan. I have the 240 with the dark rock and temps were a lot better with 1 fan due to the top one being pressed against the side window. Great cooler though, keeps a 6600k at 4.6ghz under 60 on full load.
