I was looking for a good CPU fan not too expensive but can only have a height of 150mm so no hyper 212 for me. I was going to get a cryorig h7 but the price went up. My friend told me to get the scythe big shuriken 2. Is this better than the 212 and will it cool my fx6300 well?

EDIT:Holy shit, I didn't realise that the cryorig is back in stock. Before, they was only available on the newegg which only ships to u.s and amazon for £65 (ebuyer didn't have it in stock either). I apologise for my clumsyness. BTW my mobile was MSI 970a g43 I beloeu with am3plus.

EDIT 2: Do you leave the fan attached the tower when you use it or do you put it in a case fan slot? Also, this cooler will only take up the CPU fan slot won't it?

Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference


Focusing on providing the widest range of
compatibility, the H7 utilizes an asymmetric slanted
heatpipe layout to move the heatsink away from the
RAM zone, Offering optimal compatibility for RAM
with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and
AMD platforms.
