Mini ITX build

[King_Arthur]

so I was looking for a mini ITX cooler with a max clearance of 60mm(2,3622 inches) but my CPU has a 95 Watt TDP so the noctuas aren't capable. Any suggestions?

What CPU is it exactly? Not all CPUs can fit in a Mini ITX build and stay alive.

I have one of these and the page says it is rated for 95W. https://www.quietpc.com/kozuti

 

What's the CPU? I'm wondering if it is worth considering running on power limit at the cost of a little clock at times.

 

Edit: apparently the cooler I linked is recommended for 65W and only 95W at max fan rpm. I don't know how loud that might get. I'm running mine on a 35W CPU.

aio? but your case has to fit at least a 240mm one. the 120mm ones are useless

That looks like a very sketchy cooler

The thought had crossed my mind too, but this was posted in air cooling subforum.

 

I've run a 120mm AIO on a 6700k (95W TDP) and with good airflow it is fine until it leaked some years down the line.

If you're space limited, what else would you do? It's that or a regular top-down blowing one.

the noctua l9i shoud do fine with an i5

well idk they are rated at 65w TDP and I often use my pc to compile a lot

Would a Thermolab/Cooltek LP53 fit the bill? TBH I think that in a space constrained chassis even a 120mm aio will do better than most low profile coolers. I'm running an H75 with a single fan and it vastly outperforms any air cooler that would fit in my system.

i think ill'go with a 120 mm AIO

can you get a 140mm aio in?

nope but I think it will be perfectly fine
