Whats a good cpu air cooler under 156mm?

9third · May 17, 2016

I have a case that only supports cpu coolers under 156 mm and I am planning to overclock my 6600k. Whats a good air cooler? (preferably under $70)

Eximo · May 17, 2016

Cryorig H7 is a popular choice. I believe it is 150mm.

Also a Deepcool I think, I will check.

How about the Deepcool FROSTWIN V2.0? Is that better then the h7?

Eximo · May 17, 2016

Cryorig is 160mm actually.

Deepcool is a nice mid-range choice. Some more common downdraft coolers from Noctua and Phanteks that get decent ratings.

Frostwin 2.0 is quite good, but priced a little high compared to the competition. Though with your height limit it is still a decent choice.

The H7 is actually 145mm

So would the h7 be the best choice for the 30-40 dollar range, but how about if I am looking for something that preformes better?

In the space you have, that is probably the best one.

9third · May 17, 2016

So would it be worth it to get a bigger case? (The only parts I have now are my case & power supply) Right now I am just planning out the rest of my build.

USAFRet · May 17, 2016

9third :

Probably not. Larger is not always better.

Is this a case you already own, or just in a parts list?

9third · May 17, 2016

Sorry for being unclear, I own my case and power supply and the rest is just in a parts list.

Just go with that H7.
