Which Passive CPU Cooler For Intel G3220?
Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2014 4:42 am
Hi Guys,
I'm overhauling my HTPC, and need a passive CPU Cooler for an Intel G3220 (53w TDP - Socket 1150)... I'ts been using s passive Scythe Ninja Mini for some time with great results, but it's incompatible with my new socket
I understand that coolers are compatible between the socket 1150, 1155 and 1156, so anything that fits those will do.
In a perfect world, it would eb great to get a passive cooler under 70mm in height, as that means I can use a fullsize optical drive (Silverstone GD06 case).
If this isn't possible at all, the cooler can go up to 120mm, but I'd like to avoid this if possible.
The manual recommends I could use the Silverstone NT01-E in a fanless configuration, but it's £47 = $77.
Are there any other options I can look at?
Many thanks!
Rich
