Hey guys,
I just got a now mini ITX gaming rig in the Cooler Master Elite 130 case.
The parts I have used are:-
CPU: Intel i5 4590
GPU: GTX 970
Motherboard: Gigabyte H97N-WIFI mITX motherboard
There is also one 120mm fan and one 80mm fan included in the case
I also have a 2TB HDD, a 128GB SSD and an ODD
The socket is LGA 1150 and the chipset on the motherboard is H97
At the moment I am using the stock Intel cooler but i have read reviews saying that it is not sufficient and that it runs very loud and hot.
So... is changing the cooler necessary?
If yes can you please recommend one?
The main problem is the space.
The PSU is mounted right on top of the motherboard so that leaves only 3 inches for the cooler.
The reason i am not going for liquid cooling is because it is too expensive. You can also reccomend a cheap liquid cooler.
Al suggestions are welcome.
P.S. I am in India and 1 dollar is about 65 rupees and import taxes are also charged.
