LGA 1151 CPU cooler that will fit.

[TomH]

I'm planning to upgrade my PC and I need a new CPU cooler that's cheap and will fit my build 

 

Motherboard: Micro ATX

CPU: Intel i5 1151

CPU socket: LGA 1151

Case: Corsair 100r silent edition

 

I'm looking for something under or around maybe £30 (US $35) as I'm on a tight budget.

 

I can't use the stock cooler as the CPU is from a pre built PC which only fits on that motherboard.

 

Current parts list:

i5 6400

12gb DDR3 Ram

Proprietary Motherboard 

Proprietary CPU cooler

Propietary Case

GTX 730 GPU

220w psu

 

Parts I'm upgrading:

ASUS h110 M-C motherboard

Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ GPU

Corsair rm650x PSU

Corsair 100r silent edition

-CPU cooler-

 

Sorry for any confusion 

 

Thanks ?

Didn't get one. I got the CPU In a pre built PC built to proprietary standards. I'm moving the bits that are to universal standards to a new PC

Do you actually know what CPU is he going to upgrade to?

If he plans on K processor then there's no stock cooler included.

Cryorig H7 maybe?

It will fit in the 100r.

 

And really, you lack the real detail, what CPU is it?

I do not know, that's why I'm asking - he said cheap

if he'll be using a K CPU and plan to OC, he'll need a serious air cooler

use the cooler in the box, mate

don't waste your money, use it to buy some silent fans or something

What you did was not 'asking', you're 'assuming'...

If you were to ask, you would ask what CPU is he cooling instead of 'what's wrong with boxed cooler'.

That's 'assuming'.

Just stick with the stock cooler.

You're buying silent edition case, which means you don't care how it looks inside as long as it works.

And stock cooler will work just fine.

It didn't come with one. The PC was pre built and I'm pretty sure the fan only fits on the motherboard it came on. That's the main thing in upgrading it for.

He doesn't have one, the cpu has come from a proiatory mobo, probably something like a dell which usually has their own mounting

that info should've been provided in the OP

max cooler height is 150mm - a 212 EVO  won't fit

So you already have it and it's a prebuilt.

What's wrong with the cooling system then?...

If it's a prebuilt, it should run just fine from the get go without you tinkering with anything.

For once, I agree with you.

[Ichi]

Like, list your spec first.

 

Then, list the parts you're buying new.

 

That will help alot.

If your just buying an off the shelf motherboard mate (asus,gigabyte,asrock etc), grab the CM hyper tx3, It'll be pretty quiet and hasd more than enough heat dissipation for your chip and your case and is around 20 pound. For about 30 pound you should easily be able to find a hyper 212 evo, which you'd be close to getting away with running pretty much silently.

Apologies I just got up. Not thinking straight haha

He stated Corsair 100r case which has 150mm cpu cooler clearance, that won't work at all.

 

The tx3 will and it's perfectly fine for a non K cpu.

I'm upgrading it as the graphics card is awful and a new one won't fit the motherboard it's on. I'll update the question to include parts lists

If I'm going to assume, you would be upgrading the mobo coz you want to upgrade gpu and you need a cpu cooler coz you can't use the old one.

 

In that case, go for that Cooler Master Hyper TX3 then.

Nar it fits, just scratches the window a little.

Would you do it if it's your case?

 

I know I won't.

That's right. Sorry for the confusion

 

On amazon the specs for the hyper TX3 are stated as "45 x 27 x 31 cm" surely this is wrong yeah?

Thanks ?

 

You would need new DDR4 RAM too don't you?

Or is that DDR3 a typo.

 

That PSU is an amazing choice, I have one, overkill for your usage but if you can get it for cheap then it's fine.

That looks sketchy but one would assume that's their box dimension or something.

 

90 x 51 x 136 mm is the heatsink dimensions.

Oops. The motherboard was the typo. I'm getting the h110 M-C 

 

As for the cooler, I'll have another check but thanks ?
