hello ive got a asrock 890fx deluxe 5 mobo and have the 1100t running in it im upgrading my processor to a 8120 8core i have a arctic cooling freezer in it at the moment and want to stick with an air cooler but my board clearence isnt so good and i was just wondering what air cooler within a 50 pound budget what would fit any ideas would be greatly appreciated ;)
 
its ripjaw 1600 its average size really its the heatsinks what sit very close around the processor really thats causing the problem im not sure of the measurements exactly but it is stopping me from picking just any cooler

just gone over my past threads, I had the deluxe 3, which had a slightly different design, which is why more things fitted.

how do you have the arctic fitted at the moment? if that's fitting with the fan over the ram and blowing towards the back of the case, then a lot of other coolers should fit as I don't remember mine being the tallest (had the freezer7)

that was my deluxe 3, looking at it now, was a bit of a tight squeeze. so with the change in design, I would certainly look at the sealed water cooling options.

maybe something like this and remove the bottom fan? but that seems like a waste.
