Phildebeest · 24 Apr 2013 at 17:05

Hi guys. Im after a low profile cooler (unless full size fit) to go in my prodigy to oc my 3570. I saw a lovely phantek white low prof cooler however looking at test results its just a prettier stock cooler. I only want to hit upto 4.2 maybe 4.5gz with nice cool temps i had and old antec kuhler 620 on my old full size build cooling a 2500k to 26 on idle fluctuating to 48-55 on load can i get these sort of temps with a decent low prof cooler. I kind of want to budget my self to 30 quid and would like it to look half decent as i have a windowed side panel. Ocd on pc image im afraid :/
Hope ya's can help. Cheers.

Thanks for your suggestions mate. Would these fit ok in the prodigy? No low profile offerings?

prodigy isnt a small case.

it can take a noctua NH-D14 among other large air coolers.

Just worried about ram/gpu clearence when fully installed.

A decent list of CPU fans for the price. I'm looking to replace the stock cooler before I overclock

I probably should have rephrased my question i apologise folks i think the deciding factor isnt so much the case but the mobo which will be either an asrock z77e itx or gbyte z77n. Its ram and pci e slot clearance thats my main concern.

That is definitely the issue.

Its hard to get an air cooler on those boards. The kuhler/hydro series is your best option.
