Hi All.
Im hoping you can help.
Ive been running a plex server now in the front room for a few years and the wife has always given me grief about it. To be fair to her its an old black generic mid tower case just sitting in the corner of the room and yes, its a bit of an eyesore but i've always managed to fob her off with I will sort it.
So after clearing out the loft today I came across an old Corsair Air 240 I still had in white, lovely little case and the beauty of it is its fits in an Ikea Kallax unit so its helping with my dilema.
Now to the main point of the question, ive been running an i5 3570 as my CPU, its been grand for what i need it for but all the time ive owned it its been sat under some king of massive Noctua tower cooler ( cant remember the model. This cooler wont fit into the corsair case!
Ive found a Noctua NH-L9i when browsing today and its perfect for size requirements for the case i was just wondering if it would be ok as the cooler for the 3570? its the non K version so its not overclocked but from time to time there could be a few people pulling data from Plex.
Any help or suggestions please?
