Advice Request Best high profile cpu heatsink/fan that is 88mm or below

[ng4ever]

If not high profile then low profile please. Thanks. It will be for a 80 to 100 watt processor about.

Thanks.

That's too general a question.

For what CPU?

What is the purpose of the computer?

Define "best". For some, best means quietest.

And there is a big difference between high profile and low profile. So what do you want? And what do you need? If you have a slim case, you may need a low profile.

Frankly, the OEM coolers work great in a properly cooled case even with mild to moderate overclocking.

Best as in cooling. 88mm or less heatsink/fan. Overclocking

There are 1000s of coolers. Without more to go on, I recommend you just look through Newegg, find one that interests you, then Google it looking for reviews.

I found the Thermaltake AXP-200 Muscle at 73mm. It barely fits but does! Thanks.

Never seen the "Muscle" version before, but it looks nice and has some decent reviews - for great performance, very low noise levels and a great price too. Hard to criticize that! I am glad you found something that meets your needs and thanks for sharing!
