I'm currently still using the stock Intel cooler on my i7-4790, but when I use the Folding@Home program (https://folding.stanford.edu/) I've noticed that my CPU cores temps all get to around 90C. I was looking for a better cooler in the first place, and this was the final nail in the coffin. Here's my criteria for a cooler I can use:
1. MUST be 145mm in height or below. For example, the Hyper 212 EVO is out because its height is 159mm.
2. I would prefer an air cooler only. No AIOs or liquid coolers please.
3. Make sure it is teal and gold in color (jk jk)
With that said, if you could leave a suggestion, it would help me out a lot. Thanks!
