Having trouble with picking a good CPU cooler that will fit in my case. I currently have a Cooler Master Vortex and it is not doing the job. My CPU runs around 65C while gaming. I have a floor fan blowing into the side of my open case for the time being and it helps keep the temps down. I looked at the Cooler Master Evo 212. However, there seems to be some debate in certain forums as to whether it fits my particular case. My CPU isn't over clocked. I have the "performance" setting in my UEFI bios selected. I don't intend to over clock the CPU (Have found no reason too).
I just need something that will keep the CPU around the 55C range while gaming. Any suggestions?
 
Solution
Try a small 120mm closed-loop liquid cooler. THat's all I use in my newer builds.

Here's a list. http://www.newegg.com/Water-Liquid-Cooling/SubCategory/ID-575

I've earlier today had cause to look at the Thermaltake Water 3.0 and the documentation on that is piss-poor. I would not recommend it. One sheet, with some pictures and not very good pictures at that.

The rest I'll let you read the reviews and decide. As long as you don't overclock you should be golden.
