i think you just need a better cooling.

COuld you recommend me the best heatsink I could get that would fit in a Silverstone LC17b? Tempted to get a megahalems and do some modding to my case

your case is 170mm tall, and the megahalems is about 158.7mm tall, so it should fit.

if not, a core contact freezer would be your best and sure bet

Oliphillips, also have a look at the Xigmatek S1283. I only hear great things about this cooler. Here are a couple of reviews:

Does your scythe mini have a fan attached to it or does the cooler rely on case airflow for cooling? Have you thought about lapping both the cooler and IHS to see if that also helps improve cooling? I'm with gerikoh, if you improve the cooling you'll be able to get a higher overclock.

Good luck

Yeah I want to change the cooler, and I like the look of both the Core Contact Freezer and the Xigmatek S1283, but I'm fairly sure neither of them will fit in my LC17. It's 17cm deep, but you have to remember the raised motherboard and also pretty sure a heatsink really close or even touching the roof of the case is bad news.

Looking for a decent, effective, 'short' heatsink, I still seem to end up looking at the mini ninja. So unless I can find one that fits the bill I'm either gonna have to leave it or do some case modifications. How easy would it be to cut a square hole in the case, for the heatsink to stick out of and 'breathe', and maybe create some sort of raised mesh cover?

Any suggestions welcome!

Cheers, Oli

Oliphillips, according to this review, it says that any coolers under 6.5" will fit "comfortably" in the LC17. I believe the Xigmatek S1283 is just under that height.

Good luck
