Question Choose an air cooler for an i5-12400 on microATX motherboard ?

[Reza_15]

Hi - I have a i5 12400 with stock cooler and now I want to buy a air cooler for gaming

my motherboard model is H610M S2H DDR4 (rev. 2.0) which has micro ATX form and RAMs are to close to cpu.

I tried Deepcool ice edge mini and fan was really close to rams, but Deepcool mini is not good (80 mm fan) and I want to install b bigger and better one

what should i choose to work with i512400 and place well in my micro motherboard?

Guaranteed this is more than enough for that CPU. Even with some halfway decent overclocking.

And, it has the benefit of not being nearly as big as some other comparable coolers.

Even big coolers can often be mounted so they clear RAM (not that I'm suggesting you use an NH-D15).

How tall are your DIMMs? It doesn't matter if the plastic fan shroud touches the side or top of a DIMM, but obviously you don't want the rotating blades to touch anything.
