I am looking for a CPU heatsink/fan that can fit this poorly laid out board. The stock heatsink that came with my i5-4690 is okay but would like to drop the temp down a bit more and have something a little more quiet.

I tried this but the fins that extend out bump into the capacitors.

It is in a mid-sized case that is 8.7" wide.

The quieter the fan on it and easier to install the better.

Thanks.

Thanks, I will look further into it. There is so little space between the CPU and RAM and the VRM I will have to see if I can get exact measurements from EVGA. It looks like it will not bump into the capacitors.

I bought the cryorig cooler and it barely fits. The fan had to face the RAM slots and there is almost no space between them. At least the fan is almost complete above the RAM. It was much more difficult to install than I thought but pretty happy so far. It is very quiet and each day it runs a little cooler.

Thanks
