Small quiet cooler for i7-9700K

[Deadroth]

Hello, I am looking for good cooler for my i7-9700K that won't block the view on my G.SKILL Trident RAM modules. My PC build is mATX. 

Will be Noctua NH-L9x65 enough for 95W CPU?

 

Thank you very much!

Maybe. It probably won't be able to hold full boost if you use AVX, and you won't have much if any headroom for overclocking, but if those don't bother you it will work fine.

To see Noctua compatibility with the 9700K.

That's not the right one for you, it is a low profile small cooler that can't deal with continuous high power consumption quietly. Its probably a bit better than AMD Box Cooler but not that much.

 

You _NEED_ a big cooler if you want to have it quiet at load as you need a certain surface area...

Thank you  Can someone please recommend me some quiet but not that big to cover my RAM sticks? Should I go for Corsair AIO block maybe? (I read only bad stuff, about noisy pumps and leaking  )

If it helps for something rest of my setup is Gainward GTX 1080 GLH, G.SKILL Trident RAM 3200MHz, GIGABYTE Z390M, Corsair RM750i PSU and case Corsair Crystal Series 280X (15cm CPU fan max height). Thank you very much.

The Cryorig H7, H7 Plus, or H7 Lumi appear to be a good match for you. Check the website/customer rep to make sure. I prefer air coolers. For a liquid cooler recommendation, someone else will have to help you.
