Hello everyone!
I currently have an Alienware Aurora R9 which currently contains:
i7 9700k (overclocked 4.8 ghz)
As anyone familiar with Alienware knows this case is extremely cramped with MAYBE 65 mm of CPU overhead clearance. I am stuck between a low-profile CPU cooler or a 120 mm liquid cooler. The higher quality brand low-profile air coolers, such as the Noctua NH-L12S are a few mm too tall for the case. What would you guys recommend I go with to cool my CPU?
A shorter, but possibly less efficient air cooler? Or perhaps a 120 mm liquid cooler?
Thanks in advance!
