Choice between Noctuas NH-L9i and L9x65. (or other suggestions at max 65mm hight)
Not so worried about heat, it's more about noise. I guess the bigger x65 got the best cooling/noise performance as is. But this cooler will be at only 1 mm clearance to the cabinet top/venting holes.
Would that create turbulence noise? if so, maybe the smaller L9i would be more silent even if it spins at 100-200 more rpm than the bigger one?
CPU: Intel Core-i3 6100
Cabinet: LianLi PC C37B
I also got a passive cooled GeForce 1030 on board that creates heat in the cabinet. There is one 70 mm silent fan on both sides of the cabinet.
The only fan I hear now (stock) is the cpu when watching 4k movies.
