Topdown heatsink

KMpuggy · 24 Jun 2011 at 19:34

Looking to upgrade my heatsink, where ive got a 200mm side fan, from the cpu to the fan is 140mm, so most tall heatsinks wouldnt fit, unless i removed the fan of course, but i dont really want to do that, i like my side fan.

Any ideas of one of them flat type heatsinks, or a decent heatsink that would fit.

your best bet would be to use one of the fully contained watercoolers (which one depends on your budget i guess.

also, a really radical suggestion would be one of these: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-030-SY&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=1395

its a top down cooler which can fit a 200mm fan on it. however, i cant seem to find the dimensions for it anywhere

*edit*
ignore the mahoosive scythe. the reviews ive read seem to say its pretty poor. comparable with coolers you can get for £30

This should be good as the noctua stuff is fairly good.

Alternatively look at the deepcool and scythe shruikens.

Cheers, ive heard nothing but good things about noctua stuff as well.

What are those CooltIT water systems like, are they same as the corsair hydro series?
