Hi All, I have a Micro ATX case (Antec Fusion v2) and just bought the ASRock Z170M Extreme 4 motherboard. I'm looking for a CPU fan that will fit the motherboards form factor and also not be too tall for my case. Does anyone have an suggestions? Thanks!

You're looking for a CPU cooler that will fit in an Antec Fusion case. I'm having a hard time finding the specs for that case, particularly the CPU cooler clearance. Without knowing the CPU cooler clearance, making suggestions is difficult. Obviously it must be a low profile CPU cooler. Also, what is the purpose of your PC? Do you prefer performance (better cooling) or quiet from this CPU cooler? What CPU are you using? Will you over clock the CPU? What is your budget? ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">

Hi Parsec, Thanks for the reply. Here is a link to the case http://www.antec.com/global/product.php/?id=NzE4 Looks like specific product name is Antec Veris Fusion v2 black. I bough it about new about 8 years ago. Not sure if cross linking other forums is allowed here. But here are some pics of what a main board looks like in the case http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=54880 Antec doesn't list specific cooler height, but from the first link I get these dimensions
And to answer your other questions: Also, what is the purpose of your PC? Home theater PC
Do you prefer performance (better cooling) or quiet from this CPU cooler? Quiet is better What CPU are you using? Core i5 6600k Skylake quad core 3.5 ghz LGA 1151 Will you over clock the CPU? No What is your budget? $20-$100 |
