low profile cpu cooler?
What's a good CPU fan/cooler that isn't hugely tall, so it will fit in
a midsize tower case. Looks like I have about 6 inches of headroom to put this thing in. Like to replace my stock cooler for my e8400 to try out some overclocking. Don't want to spend an arm and a leg. So, what are your recommendations? Thanks, Funex |

Thanks, Funex I looked he http://www.frostytech.com/ I chose this one: http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...articleID=2243 because my height restrictions are much tighter than yours 100mm or less in height . 6 inches gives you a lot of heatsinks to choose from. This ones reasonably priced: http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...articleID=2200 http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...id=2200&page=5 BTW, the Zalman cooler keeps my E8400 under 57C when OC to 3.6GHz and running Orthos for hours @26C ambient.

GeminII is about 3 inches tall mounted without fan and does well if your PC case has decent air flow. Water cooling also works, they only stick maybe 2 inches total plus tubing. |
