I'm soon purchasing either a PC-06S or PC-07S to put my system in. I'd like to go with air cooling - but are there any LP coolers that perform similarly to top-end air coolers?

The new BeQuiet one? Dark Rock LP or whatever its called. I dunno...

Maybe a GeminII M4?

The Dark Rock LP looks gorgeous, thanks, it's on a shortlist .

 

Scratch that, looks like it's gonna be waaay too high :/

the gemini is short I think

It is, and it's now on my air shortlist. It's gonna be hard for air here, because while I'm willing to sacrifice some performance for silence and reliability - they are up against AIOs

Will it fit wit a low profile fan? :/

It's like 40 mm over unfortunately :(

Cryorig C1 is pretty good. What's the height limit you are working with? Keep some space extra for the fan to get air in.

80mm height limit. Going AIO I think.

Probably what I would have done as well. There are coolers that will fit, including the C1 I suggested, but installation won't be very easy and case airflow will end up being a bottleneck.
