What Cooler for Skeleton ?

This case just blew my dreams out of the water. My Tuniq doesn't fit. So I'm looking for an equally good cooler which blows air towards the mobo

this is a good place to make me some offers for something cheap here. Intel Quad 9450 needs to be cooled.

Try something like this: Noctua NH-C12P

Heatsink & Fan Dim: 113x126x144mm
Weight: 550 grams

I don't have either, but it should be shorter than a Tuniq.

lol no way would i put that on a skeleton, i just got rid of my noctua and im so glad, its a good cooler and gave me awsome low temps but it takes up way too much room, more than i was willing to give tbh.

i dunno tbh, it could perhaps work for you, it isnt worth it in an actual case though usinga noctua.

You need a low-profile cooler.
Scythe makes the Zipang which fits.
Nexus also makes a nice low-profile cooler.
So does ThermalTake.

Generally speaking you have plenty of choices and just as long as you get a low-profile cooler you wont have any problems.

How about a TT Big Typhoon VX or Big Typ 14 Pro both top downers with tons of airflow.

nevermind, just realized they're probably still too tall
