Hi.
I need some help finding a good low profile cpu cooler with these in mind :

- 2700k - no oc plans - gaming and video editing - something to keep it under or ~ 60 degrees celcius.
- extremly quiet !
- fit the NCase M1 - so 130 mm height max or something low profile so i can add another fan on the side pannel.
- to fit both types of mitx boards regarding the socket position (near the video slot - mine currently MSI B75IA-E33) and the centered ones ( in the future maybe i will upgrade to an Asus Impact for example and i like to reuse the cpu cooler)

So far i have found viable 2 options that check everything on my list:

Thermalright AXP 100
Noctua L9i.


My questions:

1.Are they good and quiet? keep finding mixed results.
2.Which is better ? I like the thermalright because i can use 120 mm fans.
3.Any other recommandation?

Thank you.

I think i will add the Thermalright AXP 200 to the list.

For the current motherboad it fits

And also the impact but it will pass the motherboard.

But still it not touch anything as long as i use atx psu vs sfx.

So yeah still tricky decision.
I mean the 200 i think is the best performer but the other 2 are more versatile if things change i mean if i want an sfx psu, who knows how the skylake impact board cpu location it will be like etc.
