Alot of AM4 coolers are AM3 compatible. Im not sure though. The Hyper 212 evo does though.

 

 

Edit: Im sure theres better options but theres a good one.

Not sure about you but I think my 7 year old CPU still rips

212 Evo isn't really worth it at $30, the 212 black is only $35 or so, I'd rather get that.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

The 212 EVO and the 212 Black Edition are both too big to fit in the case I wanted. ☹️ I might opt for a bigger case, but does anybody have any other ideas? The max cpu cooler height is 147mm.

Aidos is good: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/272kcf/raijintek-cpu-cooler-op105246

If you want something a bit quieter, the PR Slim would be better: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hyQRsY/be-quiet-pure-rock-slim-351-cfm-cpu-cooler-bk008
