Low profile cpu fan recommendation needed

post #1 of 8

Thread Starter 
I'm looking for a low profile cpu fan to fit inside my silverstone gd04. I watched a review and it recommended a cooler below 70mm. This will be going on a i5-3570K LGA 1155. Thanks for the help biggrin.gif

Most tend to use a Scythe Big Shuriken 2, here. It works with my old matx lga 1156 board so it should be fine for 1155. A little pricey but cools a lot better than stock coolers. Good luck man

This, I've been using it in my HTPC for 2 years already. No complaints, and it's inaudiable smile.gif

Been using my stock intel cooler for a while, no noise at all, even with my ear right on it. Other than it, the Big Shuriken 2 is a must.

Not sure why you want to OC anyways unless you plan on gaming with your HTPC.
