Looking for a Low Profile Cooler

I have been running into problems with my Intel stock cooler as of late and am in the market for a new cpu cooler. However, my case wouldn't fit something like a hyper 212 and I can't find many low-profile coolers that would be decent and have a 4-pin fan connector. Any suggestions?

 

Alternatively I have a cooler from a dell workstation that is much beefier but uses a 5-pin connector instead. I tried to find adapters or re-wiring options but to no avail so if you have a suggestion for that too that would be more than welcome.

Noctua make a couple of good low profile coolers, including ones that come with PWM fans.

Newegg and eBay have some great deals on low profile coolers. My personal favourite is the Arctic freezer series.

 

You should be able to find heaps of cheap coolers all around the web.

hi.

first results on google....

Dude... I looked... I swear. Your Google-fu beats mine on this day. Thank you, but I think I have found a cooler that will be a bit less janky than this.

Also my pc was a bear-bones that I have upgraded through the years so I'm not sure of the exact case model but it is med-tower from cyberpower with a micro-atx board in it that ceetainly doesn't have ~155mm of clearance needed for a hyper.

Cryorig C7 is my instant recomendation, but it all depends on how much space you actiually have

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Great cooler and an amazing price. When you choose to upgrade, choose a cooler with a copper base for better heat disipation.

Thanks, done and done.

I should be able to fit the m9i that I posted in there by about 20mm so I think I'm going with that. Appreciate the recommendation though.

Thoughts?

One if the reviewers complains about cooling performance with a 6600K which ks prett much the same chip as yours.

I usually edit my posts immediately after posting them, as I don't check for typos before pressing the shiny SUBMIT button.

If you're not sure what case you have, post some photos of it and / or tell us the model name of the system.
