Just bought my daughter a new case and the old CPU cooler is too big as it it stops me from installing a fan in the roof of the case.

So, i need to change the CPU heatsink.

Not sure on the name of the current one. Suffice to say it is a low cooler with a 120mm fan on it. This stops me from installing a fan in the roof.

Its an Intel i3 CPU. Socket 1155.

Any ideas on a quiet, small Heatsink and fan? Can be a tall one if need be. Just not a low profile heatsink with 120mm fan.

Case is the

H210 MINI-ITX GAMING CASE
 
Would be lot easier if you knew what's the model of that current too space hogging cooler.

Arctic Freezer 34 is among the more compact 120mm fanned heatsinks.

Smaller thatn that are really with 92mm fan.

And with good intake fans there isn't that big need for many exhaust fans.
Geometry of stock fans looks very bad for pressure.

Looks good. Thanks

Just hope there is enough room to fit the top case fan?
