Looking For A Better Cooler Solution

[BryanZeraph]

HI guys, I am back again. The gpu I am using is around 309mm which will be quite a tough fit if I were to install a kraken x52 which leave around 325mm free space. I am thinking to change a air cooler as many says it's better compare to the kraken x52. Any recommendations?

You have only 165mm cooler clearance which means that most big tower coolers will be right against the panel.

 

The NH-D15 will literally be touching the glass panel so that's probably a no. The dark rock pro 4 will leave you a few mm gap.

 

If you want something that isn't as massive as these two but still performs exceptionally well, look at the Scythe Fuma 2.

The thermalright le grand macho RT is a great cooler, at 159mm.

The regular grand macho

is another good cooler, that is a good competitor to the Fuma 2/Mugen 5. The coolers @ftahir192 mentioned are good too

My recommendations would be Dark Rock 4/Dark Rock Slim/Noctua NH-12A
