Low profile cpu cooler recommendations

Go to solution Solved by Swndlr,

Here in Canada that ~$50 so I might want to go with something a little cheaper. I was looking at silverstone AR06 (~$40). Do you know if that is any good?

No idea :(

Here in the US its $40

I am working on a build right now that has a i5-4460 in a rvz-01b case. Obviously i'm not going to be overclocking but I want a low profile cooler that is hopefully quieter than the oem stock cooler. Given the budget oriented nature of the build I'm working on, I would prefer if the cooler was relatively inexpensive (~ <$40).

 

Thanks in advance!

BeQuiet! Pure Rock would be good. It will have good temps and be quieter then the CoolerMaster 212 Evo ( the price- performance competition at around $30)

Those aren't exactly low profile

My bad in the low profile part, I completely mis understood it. It's late and I'm tired lol.

That cpu cooler is 120mm tall and the rvz-01b is only 105mm wide. So no that wont work. I need a very low profile cooler.

I don't know much in the area but I'd look into cooler master. I know they've got some low profile coolers in the $30-$40 range.

I always thought that phanteks had the best looking low profile cooler, and you can put any 120mm fan on it.

That said Deepcool also has a slightly cheaper cooler that also looks quite nice.

I like the Scythe Big suriken, it should fit and it already comes with a low profile fan too (click image for link):
