Inwin 901 cooler help!

[Galbarello]

I am currently using the stock cooler on my i5 4690k, i want to upgrade, however i havent had any luck finding any info about which cooler will fit in my case and mobo. 

 

Case:

Inwin 901

Mobo:

h81m itx 

I wanted to get a evo 212, however i am unsure if it will fit. can anyone help? my budget is around £30-40

Look at the case website and find the cooler dimensions in height. Look at the cooler info and check the height. If the cooler is under the size of the case max height, it will fit. However, make sure the cooler does not interfere with tall RAM sticks!

Hope this helps!

The case max height is 127 mm and the 212 is 116-120 mm so your fine!

Based on a review (from bit-tech) wich I read about the InWin 901 you can go for CPU coolers with a hight of 130 mm, wich seams plausible, since you can have a well fitting 120 mm fan with not to much room left.

Oh sorry my mistake! I looked at the wrong section! This is why you don't have multiple tabs open with lots of computer parts!

Hope you understand the mistake!

I know that feeling, if you can't select the right tap because you close them by accident I recomand to drag and drop the next tap out and start to fill up the next browser window - by "Narnash" the havy tap user since of the huge RAM price drops "you don't need more than 8GB RAM they said; 11,6GB used by Chrome"

 

And I'm at work right now  

 

@Galbarello I recomand a Noctua NH-U9S or a good top blow cooler (don't forget to check your RAM hights)

Thanks for the recommendation  , is this better than an evo 212, it really is a shame that I can't use it, because its cheap and works well

The Noctua  NH-U9S is way better, even if it's smaller in hight and a smaller fan.

-better fan

-bit bigger in depth

-1 heatpipe more

-better built quality

-Noctua coolers usually have very nice and sturdy mounting gear and include accesories like low noise adapters, some extra cabels

 

But it cost atleast double the price of the 212 evo ...

 

So the Noctua cooler fit and is better but more pricy.

 

 

 

 

A very good option would be to take a  

Thermalright True Spirit 90 M Rev. A (usually around 25 euro) and replace the fan with a good 92mm fan (since the thermalright are not so well) like bequiet silent wings or Noctua fans for example this one  (for approx 10-15euro) Noctua NF-A9x14 PWM
