Looking for help in finding a Cpu cooler that fit an MSI Z370-A Pro board. Bought a ARCTIC Alpine 11 Plus thinking it would fit only to find out once i had it one bracket couldnt be place because the way the Motherboard is made.

Looking for something under $50, with a height no more than 160mm, and that wont block the ram if at all possible. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

I'd get rid of the Zalman or send it back. It's not very good.

CRYORIG H7 $34.99

Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO $29.99

These work with your motherboard. If you are overclocking you will want something bigger and more expensive. These are perfect for stock clocked and lightly overclocked processors.

Thanks for the suggestions was already looking at the H7, thought about the EVO too but with just 160mm height clearance in my case was scared it might be to big. Yeah and not looking to overclock have an i7-8700 in it with 1070 Ti it's good enough for the games I play without having to bother with that.

The H7 is noticeably shorter at 145mm. The 212 would be cutting it close indeed. I'd go for the H7. It's a very decent cooler. It's perfect for a stock i7 8700.

The H7 fit perfectly, kind of had to laugh at all the reviews of people complaining about how hard it was to install though. That's been the easiest cooler I've ever put into a machine, CM could take some lessons from them.

Do you have photos? Does the H7 block the ram slots?
