Akasa Venom Voodoo cooler replacement

willhub · 15 Mar 2018 at 15:38

As above, my CPU is socket 2011, I've found my new case won't fit it, too tall for the case and side window won't go on. I'm looking for something that will fit that will be as effective or better at cooling without costing much

Thanks

Anyone?

hard to answer when nobody knows what case you have. if you restricted by height and want good cooling you would need to be looking at a aio water cooling kit.

I'll play it safe and recommend a Noctua NH-C14S Cooler, it's very versatile and performs well.

The voodoo is 160mm tall, whereas the C14S is only 135mm with the fan mounted.

Not a lot of cooler less than 163.5 mm tall .. unless it's front fan on tall RAM causing cooler to not fit in case.
