Compatible mini-itx cooler help!

[evil714]

Hi guys, first post here but in need of some advice for my ITX build. I have an MSI Z87i AC motherboard in a Coolermaster Elite 120 case (a budget case I know but i'm quite impressed with it). My issue is that my current cooler - a freezer 11lp blocks one of my RAM slots, limiting me to 8GB RAM. I'm looking for a new cooler that will both be compact enough for RAM compatibility, shallow enough to allow for my cases height restraints and effective enough to sufficiently cool my 4790K - the Noctua NH-L9i fits almost all of these requirements but isn't quoted for 90watt cpu's, hence me hoping to find alternatives.

 

If anyone knows whether the Deepcool Gabriel-lp* would be compatible with this case/mobo/standard size RAM then please let me know, or if you know of any compatible alternatives it would very helpful! Thanks

I am having a similar issue,  I am building my gf a hadron rig as it is the smallest and nicest looking rig I could think of for her as she is not a gamer and doesn't like box shaped towers.  I am looking to put a I5 4690k in it.  I am looking to overclock a few years down the road and I want to make sure she can overclock down the road.   Someone should do a form fitting showdown for just this type of issue haha.

I have a Cooler Master TX3 cooling my i7-4790k @4.4GHz inside my Hadron case and it works great. I only have one 92mm fan on the TX3, so I'll probably add a second one later to get a bit better cooling.

can't you just turn the cooler so it dosen't block the slot?
