Good CPU fan which fits a X11 Advanced X-Station Case

TheFriedchicken · Nov 14, 2014

Hi,

I'm looking for a good CPU fan which will cool my Intel core i7 4790k @4.0ghz and will fit in my case which is a X11 Advanced X-Station gaming case.

I'm worried that it won't be able to hold a large CPU heatsink like the Coolmaster Hyper Evo 212. If anyone can recommend a good CPU which will fit in my case then that would be much appreciated.

If you want to recommend a case and a CPU heatsink then that would also be of help.

My case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Advance-8102B0-Gamer-Plastic-Black/dp/B005G9D2T6

Dimensions (As stated on product page): 47.3 x 20 x 45 cm

Thanks in advance!

It looks like it can fit a Hyper 212.You can always measure and check the CPU cooler clearance.
However I'll recommend going for Noctua NH-C14 if you want something small and good. And Noctua NHl12 if you want something even more small.

Thank you, also can you recommend a PSU as I have a powercool brand and found that it's on the replace immediately in the PSU list on this forum?

Ive managed to arrange a refund with Amazon, I wish I saw the list sooner, is it true that tier one are the best?

TheFriedchicken :

I need to know about your GPU to answer that.

TheFriedchicken · Nov 14, 2014

It's a Gigabyte GTX 660 OC 2GB DDR5, although I need a PSU which will allow my to upgrade in the future

TheFriedchicken :

I'll recommend EVGA G2 or P2 and the wattage depends upon what kind of upgrades you're looking forward to.

TheFriedchicken · Nov 14, 2014

I would possibly go for something much higher which could play assassins creed unity so I would assume the 750w G2 would be better?

Thaisnang · Nov 14, 2014

TheFriedchicken :

A 550W is enough if you just want to change your GPU
750W and higher if plan to SLI or CFX

TheFriedchicken · Nov 14, 2014

I'm willing to spend the money on the 750w as I'm constantly upgrading, having a higher wattage doesn't matter on my components at this time will it?

Another question this PSU will fit in my case? I know it's a daft question but I don't know much about PSUs as I'm starting to Learn more about hardware.

Edit: At current I belive that my powercool PSU is causing my pic to cut out during gaming will this PSU help?

TheFriedchicken :

G2 750W would be perfect for that. And it will fit. But you may want to get a new case though. A top mounted PSU would suck in air from the inside and will create some disturbance in the airflow of the case.

TheFriedchicken · Nov 14, 2014

Ok last question before I buy,

Will it affect the airflow dramatically or will it be usable for the next few months until February? (I get paid, I'm a uni student) And what case would you recommend? I will, have to be the same height as my X11 due to some living restrictions but I may be able to compromise if needed.

TheFriedchicken :

Get corsiar 200r or 300r and dont worry much the psu won't affect much of the airflow.

TheFriedchicken · Nov 14, 2014

Thaisnang :

Thank you for your help i have ordered the PSU and will keep that case in mind for February!
