12 cm tall cooler recommendtations wanted.

Sold my rigs, I am building a new Lian Li matx rig and I have to use a cooler no taller than 12 cm. Unfortunately there aren't many options, most coolers are either for HTPC and too small or for overclockers and too large.

So far Noctua's C14 seems to be the best.

Anyone has a better idea ? Thanks for the input.

I'm not sure but make sure you have proper ventilation for it

2 Scythe Gentletyphoons will take care of that.

The Thermalright AXP-140 RT would also be a good choice for your system too, Kuroimaho. That is, if you can find them in Japan.

Thanks, but as the PSU is above the socket, so I need something which could blow air upwards, the AXP-140 would most likely cause turbulence with the PSU fan or work less effectively if I flip the fan.

As much as the noctua costs I might just go water, corsair kits would cost me less.
