which cooler to get

[Neovo903]

Hi, I was looking for an air cooler for my 2600x

 

I was thinking of the cm 212+ but I was wondering if it would fit in my case. 

 

cpu: ryzen 2600x

gpu: zotac mini

ram: 16gb 3000mhz corsair vengeance

 

case: game max falcon rgb

hyper 212 evo is still the best for low budget air coolers or use a Noctua cooler for best performance

Case:

CPU Cooler Max Height: 161mm

 

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus

Max CPU Cooler Height - 159 mm  

 

Noctua NH-D14 - better, and a lot more expensive

Max CPU Cooler Height - 160 mm

Stock cooler will allow you a mild overclock.

Done a quick search and the nh d14  blocks the gpu

Its actually not. But it has one of best availabilities of budget coolers. H7 would be better, Gammaxx 400 is at par and some prefer its noise levels over 212. Pure Rock might be available at same price, but usually is bit over. And so many others.

Whats your budget and location? If you have store to link, we can check best from its selection.

 

As side question, why have mITX board on big case?

[Neovo903]

My budget would be probably up to £100, I'm in england.

 

The reason why I've got a mITX board was that it's a pc custom built by pcspecalist and me being an idiot overlooked the motherboard as not one of the things to really invest on.

 

 

Edit: I think I've found a solution, the nh-c14s.

A Mugen 5 Rev. B would probably be cheaper while delivering similar performance: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/8GBrxr/scythe-mugen-5-rev-b-512-cfm-cpu-cooler-scmg-5100
