cpu cooler for silverstone's sg13 case

[edwardjfarrell545]

if i were to put a ryzen 5 2600 in the silverstone sg13, what would be the best cooler with which to overclock my 2600 with? im thinking about the h80i v2, but it seems like it is difficult to fit in said case...

You're limited to a 61mm CPU cooler - that's only marginally taller than the stock Wraith Stealth cooler than came with the 2600 (54mm).

With the height limitation, I can't think of anything that'll do a better job/be worth the price opposed to the stock cooler.

The Stealth isn't going to allow much of an OC at all, but neither is anything else that'll fit in the SG13.

So.... 3.8ghz maybe 4 at a stretch?

Impossible to say without testing.

BUT, the 2600 should turbo to 3.9GHz stock anyway (under appropriate conditions), so overclocking is pretty pointless.
Whether the Stealth will keep is sufficiently cool to hit those clocks, especially in such a small case.... I don't know.

ok, can you perhaps suggest a different sub 15 liter itx case that has more clearance or can fit a 240mm aio?

<15L is going to be tough. I can't think of anything in particular that would allow for a 240mm AIO.

I do not cases like the Node 202 have been modded to allow for 120mm, maybe 140mm Rads..... but something to accommodate a 240mm is almost certainly going to be >15L in volume.

Could I perhaps put a 140mm aio in and get a shorter graphics card?
