Need a replacement cpu cooler

[Mr Dan Dan]

I bought a scythe fuma 2 from overclockers and the one that was sent didn't have the brackets included so I sent it back and now it's out of stock. This is all I'm waiting on to build my pc. If I request a refund which is likely because I don't know how long I'll be waiting for a replacement, what cooler would you suggest I pick up?

Got a ryzen 7 3700x, and a MSI MPG X570 gaming edge wifi inside a LIAN-LI PC-O11DX Dynamic case.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful. Thanks

If you positively want to get the exact same model have a look in the forest, or if you can't wait try the Mugen or Ninja 5. Is it the standard 011 you have or the XL?

 

[Mr Dan Dan]

The forest has it for £58 + £13 delivery and I'm a tight ******* so that'll have to be a last resort.

It's the standard 011 I have.

I'll look at those models, thanks

Sorry if I sound clueless, I am! But is this a good cooler? That's a good price if so. Thank you for your suggestion. Is this cooler easy to fit? And would it fit okay in my case?

Excellent price for a quality cooler which is 165mm tall , your case supports coolers up yo 167mm tall. Big coolers can be a bit fiddly but worth the effort .

There are also the scythe mugen

@Mr Dan Dan I think i have got it wrong your case is it the dx or xl ?

Xl 167mm max cooler height.
DX 155mm max cooler height.

That means the scythe will fit it's 154.5 mm tall

Sorry for all the confusion.

Hey man thanks for the reply. It's the DX version. I just called overclockers customer service and even though its showing as none in stock of the fuma 2, there are 5 in the warehouse so they are sending one out in a couple of days.

I really appreciate all of your help and recommendations though
