Its been a long time since I ventured into the world of non stock cooling. I no longer overclock and my last high performance rig used watercooling. So for air cooling I need some help. This is for a 24/7 san device im rebuilding.
My build is around a mitx case and its going to run a fm2 cpu ~65w.
I need a cooler that does not break the bank and is silent. Cooling performance is a concern but its not the highest priority, however the case is very well ventilated. this is it as a matter of fact. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811345016
Now I need a cooler that is not gigantic as to interfere with the case or the first pci-e slot (used for a quad port nic)
In my list of things to considers are.
1 - Price, (dont want to spend 80bux on an air cooler I can get a sealed water loop for less than that)
2 - Size, nothing that needs me to modify the case or go nuts with fitment issues.
3 - Performance, if its going to perform less than stock its useless no matter how quiet it is.
So feel free to make suggestions.
