Hi guys,

Could someone recommend a decent low profile CPU cooler as I am thinking about building a new PC and don't like the look of such big and bulky coolers. I know this won't be as effective but am fine with that as I will be doing little if any overclocking. I will probably be using this monohttp://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97pcmate

So it needs to be compatible with that.

Thanks :)

You'd try this then, it claims 100 W of cooling, but arctic coolers usually are silent. Also a higher number of blades are capable to push more air at lower speed

Thanks if you dont mind could you suggest a couple more so I have a bit of variety of choice

My budget can stretch a bit more than that if necessary xD

is this a joke or?

i would consider this to cool south bridge not freaking unlocked 4 core cpu :P

 

my advice: use stock cooler, properly downvolt, use it until you can afford AIO

Km thanks I'll take that as a no. I know its nowhere near the performance of an aio but compared to the others I'm using its worse :P
