I have an old computer I keep around for emergencies. It has an Asus H97i motherboard with a 4790S cpu and its mounted in a Silverstone Grandia 09 case. I use the Noctua NH-C14S cooler for that. It has a low profile and depending on how much room you have in your case you can use either 1 fan below the radiator or 2 fans 1 above and 1 below. My case only fits 1 below but since its a 140mm fan blowing down it cools well.

that cooler is way outta the budget i only got 40$ to spend on a cooler

150mm to play with, that covers plenty of coolers.

Nothing wrong with the Assassin X 90 SE.

You could step up to the larger 120mm version and that should fit.

that cooler would be fine as its around 12.5cm
