What to upgrade?

[Michael_10]

Hi everyone, so it's coming up to christmas, and though I got my main present (a new monitor ) I figured I could get another (small) upgrade. I was looking at a new CPU cooler, the Freezer 7 pro is good, but the fan noise can be a bit loud on high, and it is quite a small basic cooler.

I was looking at this

but I'm worried that it might not fit in my case (Xigmatek Midgard)

Any advice/suggestions? Also if you think the money could be spent elsewhere, than let me know!

Fenrir is no doubt a good cooler.
But the best cooler that exists atm is the Thermaltake Frio.

If you run the fans on max then it is stupidly noisy, but with fans on low, or just the one fan its no louder than most other coolers for better performance.

I've got the Fenrir. Great cooler but it only just went in, and the top of the RAM (G.Skill RipJaw) touches it.

As long as you measure correctly, you won't have a problem.
