Hello I am newer to building my pc and i am in need of some help picking a cooler that will fit
My speccs are
Apevia X -Trooper Case
MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Mobo
Intel 4690k Devils Canyon i5
2 Gskill Ripjaw X 8Gb DDR3 Ram Stick
Corsair 750x Power Supply
Evga Gtx 970 4gb


I am aware that my case limits me with a range of large coolers but if someone could point me in the right direction of maybe a low profile cooler that will fit my needs as a gamer. i do not overclock my PC but am willing to look at the options you proved that may be used for those people who do. the cooler the better price range below 70 dollars also.

The cryorig c7 suggested by ajpaolello should work just fine. It doesn't conflict with the ram, the cooler fins don't extend any further than the mounting screws. Any low profile cooler in that price range isn't going to cool quite as well as the 212 evo or similar, the case itself seems pretty restrictive.

There's also the noctua nh-L12 which is compatible and a bit more expensive but may cool a little better.

Well as of right now with the stock cooler i rarely break 58C so cooling is not much of the problem anything should get it down just a bit though really just want something a bit stronger in case i find a game with a little heavier load. im gonna check those suggestion out., but from what i am seeing the noctua has a height of 150mm and i believe from what i read in another post i only have space up until 130mm due the side fan.
