M MKDLMR Honorable Dec 30, 2016 65 0 10,630 Mar 8, 2017 #1 Hi All! So, I'm planning to put an i7 7700k in a Fractal 500 ITX case. I also plan to install the top two 140mm case fans, leaving only 145mm of clearance (170-25). Can you please tell me what cooler you'd recommend? Thanks! -MK

Solution MrN1ce9uy Mar 8, 2017 Depends on your budget. Cryorig H7 is good for low-budget cooling. be quiet! Dark Rock TF is low profile 130.8mm in height and a good bit better than any budget cooler. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Y27CmG/be-quiet-cpu-cooler-bk020

Both are very reputable brands and from what I've seen they're both really decent heatsinks for ITX builds. Upvote 0 Downvote
