Question Does a Mini-ITX MB support ALL fan-coolers SIZES if they are ALL LGA 1200? What is the best fan cooler for a Mini-ITX motherboard?

[SeriousGaming101]

Hello my computer case is a Thermaltake Tower 100: https://www.thermaltake.com/the-tower-100-snow-mini-chassis.html

My motherboard is a mini-itx MB Asus Z590: https://rog.asus.com/us/motherboards/rog-strix/rog-strix-z590-i-gaming-wifi-model/

The CPU is a intel i5-11500: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...11500-processor-12m-cache-up-to-4-60-ghz.html

I want to buy a fan-cpu cooler (NOT A LIQUID AIO COOLER BECAUSE THEY KEEP BREAKING). It says that my motherboard supports LGA 1200 but many fan-cpu cooler that support LGA 1200 come in different SIZES.

For example:
1. Small One: https://www.amazon.com/ID-COOLING-Profile-Heatpipes-120x15mm-Support/dp/B0CFPY9CKZ/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=mini+itx+cpu+cooler&qid=1700834277&sr=8-13&th=1

2. Mid-Sized One: https://www.amazon.com/ID-COOLING-Cooler-All-Black-Compatible-LGA1700/dp/B0CFQ7P8PB/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=mini+itx+cpu+cooler&qid=1700834277&sr=8-10&th=1

3. Big-One: https://www.amazon.com/DeepCool-Digital-Heatpipes-Dual-Tower-Display/dp/B0C5XM2FGJ/ref=sr_1_16?crid=3V2UHP7A7ZYMX&keywords=lga+1200+cpu+cooler&qid=1700834214&sprefix=lga+1200+cpu+cooler,aps,70&sr=8-16&ufe=app_do:amzn1.fos.d977788f-1483-4f76-90a3-786e4cdc8f10&th=1

If all these Fan-CPU Coolers say that they support LGA 1200, does that mean that they ALL fit inside my Tower 100 Case/Mini-ITX MB? The big ones too?

I am looking for a very quiet CPU-fan cooler, any suggestions? As a bonus, it would also be cool if the fan cpu-cooler had a display screen to show the real-time CPU temperature.

No.

Coolers have different heights.

That alone will mean some won't fit in certain cases.

The specification sheet for your case should include some mention of the maximum acceptable cooler height.

The specification sheet for each cooler should mention its height.

You may be quite limited on what will fit, but you need to research that.

With M-ITX boards the spacing around the socket can be obstructed by heat sinks on the VRM and so forth. Not only should your motherboard have some deets about that (maybe) but some of the cooler manufacturers like Noctua discuss this for certain issues.
Also, need to consider RAM height.

That will show all coolers that people are using with that board (from that site). Your memory height might change what will work.

Your case says up to 190mm so no problems for that.

For the temp display you would need a water cooler with a display in it.

EDIT I did find this if you have the connectors.

I am not sure where I saw this, but I think someone is actually making a small screen that plugs to one of the USB headers that will display temps and a few other things. It apparently sticky tapes for placement. For some reason I am thinking it was something off Ali.

edit- yup, type in "PC temperature display" on Amazon and loads of them that look alike with different off brand names all over the place.
