Smaller cooler

Minibiker · 6 Jun 2016 at 18:39

Hi all

I currently have the Standard Intel CPU cooler in my Build, I have tried fitting the Raijintek cooler but the copper bits at the top tounch the inside of my case window, Dont like the thought of that so i want to know if there are any smaller Coolers i can buy to go in my Bitfenix Nova case

Thank you

BitFenix Nova max CPU cooler height is 160mm.

Which Raijintek cooler is it exactly? Wouldn't want to spec you one a similar size which should fit but doesn't either.

This is my one, but i just feel it takes up a lot of the space inside

Taking up a lot of space is not a problem as long as everything clears. Bigger coolers tend to run cooler and quieter.

Brocken is a good little cooler.

This would be a massive upgrade on stock cooler and cheap as well

It's only 136mm high. Can withstand a 4.5GHz oc on i5-4690k although at that gets a little bit loud. Otherwise it is a very decent small cooler. Definitely something to consider if you haven't bought one already.
