Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a CPU cooler for a SG08 and Asrock Z77e-ITX?

Most low profile coolers I've found fit, however many seem to overlap the PCI-E slot which isn't good.

I've seen the ThermalRight AXP-100 works quite well, but its tricky to get a hold of, same goes for the AXP-140.

The CPU is a 2500k, and strangely, applying any kind of overclock sends the temps sky high. Stock clocks keep them within thermal range with Prime95, too high for prolonged use, but still within range and something not reachable when playing games.

The stock cooler also gets a bit noisy when the temps ramp up, so something quieter would be nice.

Not looking to go down the watercooling route as I'd like to keep the AP181 fan in there.

Cheers guys!
