Low profile cooler for ryzen 9

[angryfi5h]

Hi guys I'm after a low profile cooler for my Ryzen 9 5900x CPU.

I'm using a fractal design ridge black case so its fairly narrow I'm currently running it with a Noctura nh-l9a-am4 cooling fan and its not cooling well enough.

Any suggestions for a low profile one please

I would go with a Thermalright AXP-120-X67 if you can't fit an AIO.  What GPU, if any, do you have installed?  You can always use a 120mm AIO but even a low profile air cooler might be the better option.

You did say you're using a case that's narrow, that means airflow through it probrably isn't the best but also noted yeah, that cooler is probrably not enough anyway.

If you get a different cooler, it fits into the case with what you've got and it's still running too hot your best bet from there is to get a case with more space (Not so narrow/small) internally for airflow reasons.

Remember any system in a case running an aircooler for the CPU uses air inside the case for cooling, and if that's already warm then whatever is in it will be too - No way around it.

It could be adding a couple of case fans (If it has room/spots for them) would help and I'd also be sure all cables and so on aren't causing airflow problems/restrictions in the case.

This case design has the CPU cooler pulling cool air from outside the case through the side panel.  Extra case fans won't help much here.

 

Edit:  The best option would be a 280mm AIO.  The case does support depending on what GPU is installed.

I'm running a 1060ti gpu so nothing crazy attached some images of the amount of room I have to play with

Now that i think about it could i take out both the big fans and replace with a rad I've got about 40mm thickness between the chassis and the gpu now I've gotta try and find a kit to fit any suggestions on that guys.

Nope.  40mm is nowhere near enough.  I believe ultra slim radiators are 45mm and you'll still need another 25mm for a cooling fan.  I re-read the case specs and it lists radiator compatibility only when running without a GPU.  I would go with my original suggestion for a low profile cooler.

As much height as you can fit, of course not too much. You won't want air shearing noises when fans are too close to the panel openings.

Im.gonna go with silverstone vida 240 that looks like it should fit
