A need for two different CPU coolers...difficulty inside

[Radium_Angel]

Two different systems:

 

A DeskMeet x300 with a Ryzen 5 5600g. Using stock wrait, but even modest gaming gets it to 90+. Difficulty: Cooler can't be taller than 54mm. Suggestions?

 

A Chinese salvage mATX Haswell 2011-3 Xeon board, need a horizontally blowing CPU cooler (I'd like the excess air to cool the VRMs near the CPU)

mobo listing is here:

Suggestions?

How about Noctua NH-L9i rocking with only 37mm?

 

Pure Rock 2 seem to compatible with LGA 2011-3? Noctua NH-D15 if you don't mind spending some extra monnies?

That's vertical...not horizontal (unless Google is deceiving me)

You want it to blow like a stock cooler? I'm getting confused.

I need the cooler to blow horizontally (I believe I mentioned this in the original post) to it'll cool the VRMs as well.

The thing is, when you have the mobo vertical then it will blow horizontally regardless, right?  My Dark Rock blows horizontally....

 

How about Noctua LH-12S? If you want it to blow towards the mobo like a stock cooler.

 If you want to cool the motherboard well, what you're looking for is a downdraft cooler that blows air down towards the motherboard.

What case are you using? Have you tried undervolting?

Probably an open frame PC case...but currently undecided.

No interest in playing with OCing/UCing.

The AXP90-X47 should be a decent upgrade from the stock cooler: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VmTp99/thermalright-axp90-x47-4258-cfm-cpu-cooler-axp90-x47

 

For 2011-3, the BIG Shuriken 3 Rev. B works as a downdraft option: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/kykwrH/noctua-nh-c14s-8252-cfm-cpu-cooler-nh-c14s

If you have more to spend, the NH-C14S or Dark Rock TF 2 are better:
