Hi,

Okay so I am currently looking for a good CPU cooler that will fit in my gateway dx4870-ub318 case.

I have an Acer IPIMB-AR motherboard.

Lately my CPU idle temps aren't where I would like them to be, hovering around 45 c idle.

What would be a good CPU cooler for my case?

Since oem do i suspect that the case doesn't handle taller coolers,like the ones that are 160mm in height like the 212 EVO,so i would look at something like these,

That´s about CASE FANS, not the HSF (Heatsink Fan). There's no info about your case's CPU FAN height limit, sorry. I said it for the image, maybe you can measure it for yourself. The CM Hyper 212 EVO will be, as you can say for the images, over the RAM sticks, as it's pretty tight in your motherboard.
