List of coolers that'll fit nicely into a SG05...

MasterPlan1 · 7 Oct 2010 at 10:13

I've just rebuilt my work horse into my SG05, and noticed that going from my slightly smaller ITX case, that I now have a big gaping hole in the internals from where I had my low profile cooler in there which wasn't even as big as the heatsink on the 9300-ITX, so I was hoping to put something a little bigger in there (and clock my e3300 which randall24 managed to get up to 4Ghz). Is there anything other than the Shuriken BIG that'll fit and provide good cooling + silent performance? I did think about putting a H50\ALC ECO, but I want to keep the HD cage as I want to rock it with a 60Gb Vertex 2E and a 2TB Seagate LP soon as I get some funds.

Thanks

Prolimatech Samuel 17 is about as good as it gets as a low profile solution,it also works well with low rpm fans.

Corsair H5O?

AXP-140 and 120mm slip stream fan. It is what I am considering putting in mine.

Built a HTPC in the SG05 for a friend, used the Scythe Shuriken. Good little cooler for the case.

You can keep the HDD cage if you use cable ties for the 120mm fan. Corsair themselves even have a guide on how to do it.

So you can shove your rolleyes elsewhere, frankly.
