Thermaltake Armor A30 LAN Gaming Case CPU Cooler Question

Hi,

Im thinking of getting Thermaltake Armor A30 LAN Gaming Case

Does anyone know if an Artic Cooling Freezer 7 will fit inside this? (im guessing it wont)

If not could anyone suggest a cooler that will fit nicely in there, or if the stock cooler is good enough for an Intel Core i3 540 3.06GHz (Clarkdale) (Socket LGA1156) to over clock it to say 4ghz.

Thanks

I doubt an Artic Cooling Freezer 7 is good enough for decent temps at 4Ghz on an older i3, and I doubt it would fit in such a low profile case... Stock Intel cooler will fit but I would deffo not wanna run 4ghz with that either.

You will probably have to go with a good low profile cooler.

i got the cooler as part of a bundle from ocuk with a 4.2ghz overclock so i hope it will be ok at 4 lol.

Yeah i didnt think it would fit, just was hoping to not have to buy another

Any suggestions for a good low profile cooler?

Here's a list of low profile coolers under different requirements (noise, best cooling, size, etc).

Joker which fan did you go for in the end?

Ive just bought the same case so im looking for a good cooler also, i mainly use the rig

for gaming.

Got an intel closed loop cooler but theres no chance that will fit because of the rad

An also got a Asksa Venom an that thing aint even worth trying squeeze in there lol.
