Recommend 92mm cooler

almoststew1990 · 16 Apr 2024 at 10:06

I have a project PC with a 4790S 65w CPU in a mini ITX case and am using an Asaka top down heatsink which is reasonably chunky like Pentium 4 sized heatsink but it is hotter than I’d like and loud. Can some one recommend a 92m tower cooler that works with 1150 and is also high quality I.e. no push pins.

I've used this one before, decent enough - it's got it's own backplate and brackets rather than push pins.

My basket at OcUK:

1 x Raijintek Aidos Direct Contact CPU Cooler - Black (SKU: HS-013-RT) = £14.99

Total: £18.98 (includes delivery: £3.99)

Do you want a cooler with a 92mm fan or a cooler that's no taller than 92mm?

92mm fan on a tower. The cpu cooler clearance is apparently 140mm (Thermaltake Core V1) but my 120mm fan heat sink doesn’t fit. If there are compact 120mm fan solutions say 130mm then that’s fine but I doubt that leaves much room for ram clearance etc

Noctua's NH-U9S is probably worth considering too.

Thanks for the recommendations. I’m a Noctua fanboi but even I can’t spend £50+ on a 92mm cpu cooler, I’ll probably get the assassin X thanks
