What are some good options for air cooling a socket 1150 CPU(4790k) that have a height under 155mm? Most of the best tested coolers are much larger than that but I cant fit more than a 155mm height into my case. Furthermore having trouble finding the height of some coolers. Any suggestings for good heatsink/cooler that is not super tall?

Thanks all

These two heatsinks seem to have a lot of reviews:

ARCTIC Freezer 7 Pro Rev. 2, (127mm Height)

ZALMAN CNPS9500A-LED (125mm Height)

The Zalman seems like a better cooler overall than the first one though it is more expensive since the whole thing is made out of copper.


I personally have a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO which I absolutely love but it is 159mm high so it is just a little too tall for your case.
