GA-EX58-EXTREME i7 OC Cooler that fits

Last response: in Overclocking
Share

I have an Antec Skeleton case so i am limited as of height (11,5 cm or 4,5 inch MAX) and i also noticed the heatsink from the MB chip might also interfere.

What do you guys use or recommend? I have to return the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus i bought because it is too tall.

I was recommended an Scythe Big Shuriken (SCBSK-1000) but im worried it won`t fit or touch the heatsink.

There will be some OC-ing going on but no messing with the voltages, the CPU is an i7 2,8 ghz .
Budget is around the Scythe price, so around 50$ or 35euros

Any advice is appreciated (willing to measure for space)

Scythe Big Shuriken is out (hits the chipset heatsink)

Prolimatech Samuel 17 and Silverstone Nitrogon SST-NT06-E seem to fit.

so the boundaries should be no greater than:
height 11,5 cm or 4,5 inch
width 13,5 or 5,3 inch (already touches)

But is the cooler heatsink starts from 4,5cm (1,8 inch) above the cpu, then the with doesnt matter because it is higher than the chipset heatsink so just the height limit counts.

What do you guys think? What should i do?

Thank you saint, using your reviews and question center for a while but never needed so specialised targeted help and i tought tis would be the best place to ask but it seems no big luck yet

Sadly that one is not available in my country but the ones above are, and this one also: Scythe Shuriken rev. B

So my choices until now are:

Prolimatech Samuel 17
Scythe Shuriken rev. B
Silverstone Nitrogon


Witch one should i buy?

You can find here: http://www.frostytech.com/top5_lowprofile_heatsinks.cfm here are a lot of recommended cooler according to size.

If those are your only options, I'd go with the Scythe Shuriken Rev. B
