CPU cooler under 83mm for overclocking

[Knaffils]

Hello community!

I was planning on building a Silverstone raven build, but couldn't find a good CPU cooler solution, so I come to you guys. I need a cooler for an LGA1150 socket, and I am going to overclock an Intel Pentium G3258 to 4.7gHz. As I said, it also needs to stay under 83mm.

Thanks in advance, Knaffils.

Cases like that hold too much heat , not worth overclocking.

No decent coolers , of that height.

I was using a G3258 in Silverstone ML03B. I picked up an AR06 cooler to overclock my G3258, at 4.5 it was Prime95 stable, with great temps. I couldn't get my chip to go any further.

Could you please tell me the temps? And is there a noticeable difference between 4.5 or 4.7gHz?

The be quiet! Shadow Rock LP has an MSRP of $49.99.
Extremely quiet
Good build quality
Flexible mounting orientation
Easy to install
Solid warranty



Performance on overclocked system is lacking
Overhangs DIMM slots in its default orientation
Documentation makes no note of the cooler's other possible orientations

And compared to the SilverStone Argon Series AR06, which one is better? I saw the be quiet had a 100% load temp of 73 degrees celsius, isn't that a little hot?

Yes , a tad hot , not real bad.

I'd go with the SilverStone Argon Series AR06.

Okay, thanks. And any water coolers? Or should I avoid them? I will be moving a lot, so I don't want it to break.

Stick to the SilverStone Argon Series AR06 , that's a good choice.
