Can't find any pics about H7, so I don't know if it could be mounted horizontally. Or if it is, would it block RAM slots. M9a won't.

I found out that the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo will fit very well on my motherboard.

That means I'm gonna buy that cooler now, and then buy a proper noctua cooler when I buy my ryzen pc.

anyways, thanks for opinions and help!

Hello!
I need some help finding an air cooler that is compatible with the gigabyte ga-f2a88xn-wifi and can cool my amd athlon x4 860k.
Budget is tight, so max 65 USD (might be able to stretch another 10 USD)
The case is the fractal design define s nano, so the max height is 16cm for the cooler.

Three more things that are useful to know:
1. I have 2 sticks of corsair vengeance ram, the tall ones.

2. I am using a graphicscard
3. The mobo violates the AMD "keep out zone" around the socket. I hav not been able to find more info on this.

Thanks for help if any!

I think I'll get the 212x and place it horizontally and cut the heatspreaders of the ram if needed.
I'm pretty sure the 212x will work for my ryzen pc aswell.

thank you for the help

Agree, but do you have AM4 bracket for 212X? Or is it really compatible?

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

No OP mentioned that maybe 212X will be OP's Cooler for The Ryzen PC

I have not thought about ryzen compability.
worst case scenario is that I buy a better cooler. since budget won't be that tight when buying the new pc in a years time

212 Evo (212X also) hangs over 1st RAM slot. So maybe look if you can get H7 from Cryorig in Norway. That clears all RAM slots and is smaller than 212.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^

you are completely positive this does not interfere with my pci-e slot?

Pretty sure, though its hard to find good pics:

175064.c46487a95b133221e5d1eb7fd3845c87.

 

Other Cryorig coolers you can consider would be C7 and M9a.

well, I have the ga-f2a88xn-wifi motherboard. and the socket on that is VERY close to the pci-e and the DIMM slots.
So, I'm not so sure I can use my GPU with that cooler

212 will block PCIe for sure. There aren't many 120mm towers that won't block it. H7 is best 120mm cooler for that. M9a is 92mm, but performs very close to 120mm's. In this case, best option might be AIO.

oh. okay. 

but the 212 will be mounted horizontal with the fan on top.

besides, my current AIO is dying and I can't afford a good AIO
