Cpu cooler no higher than 134mm

[j0ndafr3ak]

Hi,
Can you advise a good cpu cooler no higher than 134mm? I would like to get a Bitfenix Pandora Window and that's the max height allowed for heatsinks. it's for a fm2+ build. thanks

Youre looking at a lp blower mate really ,99% of even the 92mm towers are 135mm or do.

The zalman cnps5x 'might' fit & its a decent little cooler for the money but not spectacular.

I will recommend the raijintek Pallas ,I use one myself ,& its a pretty spectacular performing 140mm flat blower - you may not like the looks ??
But it honestly does a great job & is near silent.

zalman is cheaper but i believe the pallas is the better cooler of the two.

^ Pallas wasn't around then though mate - the only one that is even close performance wise is the noctua with both fans fitted which costs twice as much & is damn ugly.

I used to own the big shuriken 2 - decent cooler but the pallas absolutely batters it .

Were talking 10c off the CPU temps & 20c+ off the vrm temps while being a lot quieter.

you can always sand up the noctas and paint um. But its a lot of unnecessary work for a minor temp difference. Better off with pallas.
