Hey guys,

Okay since I'm going to be returning my H100 cooler,Need a new CPU cooler!

What would you guys recommend?

*Must be quiet as possible*
*Budget £50-60*
*PWM capable*

Its for my system in rig,Size should not be a problem..The Fractal Arc is HUGE. :p

Cheers! ;)

Ah,Forgot to mention..i think i would have trouble with that type of cooler been longer that usual.
My ram is G.Skill Ripjaws which have fins on the top,And i cant move them to the far slots as i have 4x 2GB sticks.

Thanks for the suggestions so far though guys.
 
at a smurfalicious price.

Heatsink Dimension (LxWxH)

without fan: 134 x 140 x 160mm
with Dual Fans: 159 x 140 x 171mm*
with 3 fans: 184 x140 x 171*
*Fans centered on radiator. This is 31mm above motherboard... 31mm RAM clearance.

Center Fan as low as 165mm 3mm above radiator when setting on bridge mounting screw
End Fans dependent on memory and other things on motherboard

I have this installed in Define R2 on Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Rev 1.6 w/ i7 920 radiator top is 168mm from motherboard with 3 fans. It is 115mm high x 140mm wide x 51mm with 32mm between radiators and 53mm above motheboard. A very tight fit mounted vertical.

Click to expand...

Could you mount the fans middle and back instead of front and middle?
 
My R2 specs 165mm cooler clearance with case 207.4mm wide... and Arc is 230mm wide. Don't know how much room is behind motherboard to side cover but if similar that would give you 180mm. Lay a straight edge across the side and measure. ;)
