I am throwing together a few things I had laying around to make a desktop to use daily. I am planning on doing some light gaming on this as well, but my cpu cooler (stock intel for the i3) is starting to get loud.
I am using an itx board (asrock h77m-itx) as well as a video card (Zotac GeForce GTX 650 Ti amp!) so I am working with a very tight space. My concern is the stock intel cooler just about hits the video card as it is.
I have been reading reviews and most seem to focus on the hight of the coolers themselves. I am using a fractal core 1000 case i had kicking around so I have plenty of height to work with. There are a few upright coolers that look like the might work, but without mounting them I am not sure if they will strain or even flex the motherboard standing upright in a tower.
If anyone has suggestions or even some photos with there itx setup I would greatly appreciate it.
I am on a budget with this build so i am trying to keep this sub $60, I hope I can get something descent. I am not planning on overclocking at the moment but overkill isn't a bad thing with cooling I think.
Thanks
