going to build a monster MITX rig tomorrow, suggest me a cpu cooler! - Page 3

post #21 of 22
I have a CM geminii s that was using in my thermaltake lanboy with a clearance of less than 100mm and the fit was perfect in that case and the cooler was good enough for an 4.5ghz overclock @ 1.35v.. Keeping the cores on less than 75c... Hiting a max of 79c on a 21hr prime blend test...

I had the cpu fan inverted as my psu was right in top of it (they will fight for air 120mm cheapo cooler master fan vs 140mm yate loon fan) do the math lol.. Plus i used the case design for the perfect airflow combination which requires me to put the heatpipes of the cooler where the side panel window is and flip the cpu fan to suck air out of the heatsink creating and constant fresh air vacuum mode XD..

This is a old picture before the geminii s with stock intel cooler, just to show you how the setup was...

What i got left after the Geminii S installation was like 10mm of clearance between the cpu cooler and psu...

This is the prime test blend results

There was only one intake 92mm noctua fan..

Bit late now, but might be useful for anyone else looking for a cooler for the Asrock Z77E-ITX:
