Low profile HSF for 2600k So I am wanting to build myself a MATX P67/2600k machine. The case is a Lian Li PC-V352, so I don't have much vertical height. I was thinking about grabbing a Corsair H50, but since Sandy Bridge seems to not benefit all that much from high end cooling I don't really want to spend $70 on a cooling it. Anyone have any other suggestions that would fit? I had a Thermalright AXP-140 in the past and loved it, but it seems to have been discontinued. |

This one? I think it will likely be too high. |
The Scythe Big Shuriken would probably be your best bet. Everything that performs better is typically over 100mm, and it seems you only have ~120mm of clearance from the PSU/HDD bay, wouldn't leave much breathing room. Not to mention everything else that performs better is usually over $50, an H50 can be had for that much on sale.

Look at the review we have on HWC for the samuel 17 dude. It's pretty decent for a low profile. On the chart they compared it to some high end cooler.

Wow, I just started putting together a Sandy Bridge setup in a V351B...what are the chances! So far from what I have read, the Scythe Big Shuriken, Scythe Ninja Mini, and Thermalright AXP-140 all fit. There's a huge thread on Hard Forums dedicated to the Lian-Li's V350 series of cases...some good reading in there. I was thinking about running an H50, but I'm trying to keep the clutter inside the case down to a minimum in order to keep other components as cool as possible. |
