CPU cooler

Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced Mini-ITX Case - Black

I built a friend a system a month ago using this case,
i5 4570+GTX670(ref), he said it's shutting down while he is playing games.
I told him to monitor the temps but he hasn't given any clear indication of the temperatures yet.

I suspected it's the CPU as the HASWELL ones are pretty hot.


I bought this CPU cooler but failed to fit it due to the closed end of the heat pipe contacting with the GPU.
Cooler Master GeminII M4 Low Profile CPU Cooler
So I resulted in leaving it with the stock cooler to see how it coped which was a bad idea.

There are limited CPU coolers for this case, but I need help on finding an air cooler.
I've seen a H60 fit in this but they had to remove the HDD bay.

ah cooler blocks PCI-E slot for this too, might have to get a Kuhler 620 then.

But I actually wanted to use the NH-C12/C14 and both block the PCI-E due to the WIFI mobo.

Yeah the L9i is essentially the stock cooler with better looking aesthetics, won't be going for that but thanks for the info
