Help choosing cooler

Post by xtianep » Tue Jun 28, 2016 11:00 pm

Hi all,

I want to mount a little computer and need some help in choosing the cooler. My configuration is as follows:

- Case: E-mini E-W150

- MoBo: ASUS H110I-PLUS D3

- CPU: Intel® Pentium® G4400

- CPU cooler: Noctua NH-L9i or Scythe Kozuti or Zalman CNPS2X

The case is really small so the max tall of the cooler must be below 43mm.

Are these coolers compatible? Which one you recommend?

Thank You!

Out off the choices you have i would pick the Nocuta NH-L9i, mostly because the Kotuzi has a priopietary 80mm slim that its not that easy to get, while the Noctua uses a very widely available fan. Overall the G4400 is not hard to cool off, so either of the coolers should work fine, but i would pick the noctua.

Thanks, Abula!

The Noctua was another option, too ;)
