Hi all, I am finishing my build in SilverStone RVZ02 case and am looking for a CPU cooler for i7-6700K CPU.

I have selected six candidates that match the 58-60mm height restriction for this case:

  • * Thermalright AXP-100R
    * Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B
    * Zalman CNPS8900 Quiet
    * Noctua NH-L9i
    * Akasa Nero LX
    * Cryorig C7
If anybody could help me pick the best one I will be really grateful... Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I'm leaning towards the Thermalright right now as Zalman is quite good, probably even better, but it's hard to install and the quality of Thermalrights seems to be much better.
Is there maybe some 60mm or less cooler that is superior to those I mentioned?

Yeah, neither will fit :)
Well, I'm going to order the Thermalright.
Later, I will post heret he temperatures for anyone interested who might be having the same dilemma ;)
Thanks BadActor for help!
