hey guys and thanks for reading this, I have recently purchased a shuttle PC from the market place, its socket 775 and is running a core2duo. However I need to find a cooler that is no taller than 1.5 inches / 4 cm high and cant be more than 9cm wide, which im struggling to find. If you know of any lowprofile coolers that fit this description please can you tell me Kind regards, DT.
Sorry, it's an all-in-one unit such as the corsair h50. It leaves the motherboard area a lot more open and you won't have any clearance issues. However it has a 120mm radiator and you need a 120mm fan space somewhere. Just remembered what a shuttle case is and ignore everything I've said, its probably not a realistic idea. Just look for a low profile CPU cooler
ah thanks, and dont worry i found what i'm looking for For reference incase anyone needs to find something similar in future: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/akas...-for-micro-mini-itx-htpc-intel-s775-1155-1156
Your shuttle didn't com with a custom cpu cooler? http://www.ebuyer.com/139534-zalman...r-socket-lga1156-1155-lga775-am3-cnps8700-led http://www.ebuyer.com/148501-arctic...rofile-socket-775-processor-cooler-ac-frz-7lp
looks like this:http://img.misco.co.uk/images/uploadedimages/large/20110407122444.jpg http://www.misco.co.uk/applications...-google-_-cooling-_-173345&CAWELAID=849545702 don't get it though the other ones linked here are better with a good rear venting fan.
if your shuttle has a shuttle motherboard, have you checked the compatibility of a non shuttle cooler? in my experience, they screw into the base of the case and have a weird location for the mounting holes.
