Help Selecting a Low Profile Cooler

[smush]

Hi

 

have short listed my choice of air cooler to these 3:

 

• http://www.cryorig.com/c1.php
• http://www.scythe-eu.com/en/products/cpu-cooler/big-shuriken-2-rev-b.html
• http://phanteks.com/PH-TC90LS.html

 

My build will be a core i7 6700k with a TDP of 91W (without OC) on a  micro-ATX board

 

My preference is probably the Cryorig but don't know if it is best of the 3 and concerned about it blocking RAM/other slots TweakTown said clearence is like 44mm for RAM? is this dependant of motherboard model or are all Micro-ATX boards laid out the same?

 

Thanks

What case do you have/ how tall can the cooler be?

The case I am likely going to get is http://www.thermaltake.com/Chassis/Micro_Case_/Urban/C_00002291/Urban_SD1/Design.htm and the max CPU cooler height is 90mm

Oh wow, that's small, I'd go with the criorig, it's massive and will allow for some overclocks.

Yeah it is. Problem is I think I have have to find RAM no taller than 42mm due to the Cryorig hanging over RAM slots and websites don't really list heights of RAM nor do some manufacturers

42 mm is enough for many RAM kits. Kingston FuryX and Savare will fit for aexample. They are around 32 mm afaik. And they make solid ram
