What CPU fan will fit my case

RhinoTV · Mar 2, 2017

Hello anyone whos reading

I'm kinda new to Pc's and Really afraid to build a pc & even add something onto mine. I know a lot about it but not really about building. I've been trying to get cheap Pc parts & then 'try' and build a pc as I've seen people who don't know anything about it and can build it.

My PC has been very loud recently and was going to change the back and front fans on it as its only unscrewing and unpluging. Then I saw someone say that its mainly the CPU fan thats loud in my case ( ZALMAN Z11).

So what I came here to ask is dose anyone know a relatively cheap CPU cooler thats easy to install or would have a video so I can follow along . Really appreciate the help

You didn't mention your current CPU or cooler.

Your case can fit a wide range of air coolers. If you're looking for cheap and easy to install, I would recommend the Cryorig H7, best budget cooler on the market. I own one and really like it. Sometimes it goes on sale for $29.99, which is when I got mine.

Here's an installation video.

*Don't forget to use thermal paste. The Cryorig H7 comes with plenty in a tube for you to apply. I've found that spreading a thin layer across my CPU works best. There are some tutorials on how to do that as well.

Sorry about not putting them down.

My mother board is ASUS Z97-K & processor is the I7 4790K With stock cooler. Just looking for something small for me to add to keep it coll when rendering videos as i saw it go up to 84 degrees Celsius. Any other cooler where you dont need to take out motherboard ? Its the 'heart' of the system and still havent a clue on how to build one . I was gonna buy these fans (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00F6S10KK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&th=1) tomorrow to see if it would make a difference and see if its quieter

Well the stock Intel CPU fan is what is loud. It spins up when your CPU is under load. Adding case fans may not help with the CPU fan noise.

There are some CPU heatsinks that use pushpins to hold them in place on the motherboard so you don't have to access the back of the motherboard. They aren't as reliable because they can come loose and cause problems.

Your case should have a back panel that removes because I see a hole in the case to access the back of the motherboard so you don't have to remove the whole motherboard to install/remove the heatsink backplate. That's how my case is.

I also have an i7-4790K and I use the Cryorig H7 on it and it stays around 60C-65C under heavy load. It's a quiet cooler also.

Zalman's website says you don't have to remove the motherbaord to install a CPU cooler with a backplate. http://www.zalman.com/contents/products/view.html?no=334

Is that your case in the link? The Zalman Z11 Plus

I know it may sound stupid but yes that looks exactly like mine. I never really understood it because I just said zalman z11 . Is there a major difference from it ?? I'll check a picture that I have of my pc when I first got it and should tell me .

Was looking at the cooler you said and found this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0177GTTB0/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1488557303&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=Cryorig+H7. Is that the same one your talking about and the one in the video ?? With all those push pin things that you push into the mother board ? I like the way you said 60 degrees when under heavy load so will definitely want to buy it

Yes it is a zalman z11 plus

The Cryorig M9i Mini is a smaller cooler that won't cool as well as the H7, but it would still be an upgrade from the stock Intel cooler. It uses the same backplate installation method as the H7. Reviews show it to keep a 4790K at around 67C under load.

MrN1ce9uy :

So it will still all fit and same installation video ?? I just need a amazon U.K. Link if you have it.

Also todag was cleaning it out and now When I turn it on my starts for 30 seconds then restarts by itself then loads back up. The green light is on the mother board but my keyboard and mouse isn't working and monitors won't recognize it
