im thinking between these:

COOLER MASTER GeminII S524 120mm Long Life Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with Intel 2011/1366/1155/775 and AMD FM1/FM2/AM3+ - Newegg.com

COOLER MASTER GeminII M4 RR-GMM4-16PK-R2 120mm Slim Fan Long Life Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler Compatible with Intel 2011/1366/1155/1156/775 and AMD FM1/FM2/AM3+ - Newegg.com

Enermax ETS-T40 T.B.SILENCE CPU Cooler With PWM Twister Bearing Fan Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1366/1155 and AMD FM2/FM1/AM3+ - Newegg.com

and the 212 EVO

I must admit I ain't too clued up on air coolers anymore Quad, there must be some sites around that give reviews/comparisons on them?

I think the first one is the best choice.

 

[Quadrider10]

ok so it will JUST NEARLY fit into my case....

Which one are you referring to ?

 

[Britton30]

Either of the low profile Cooler Masters would work but hang ove the RAM much more. The Enermax is the same height roughly as the 212 EVO.
There is this one, about an inch shorter than the 212 EVO.

What case are you building in again?

Here's my 212EVO on bench, the RAM just clears it.

THATS FREAKING HUGE!

hmmm im thinking the first one i posted. the GeminII S524. reviews say that it cools great! also think that it will look cool in my case.

 

[Britton30]

It looks bigger with the two Noctua fans stuck on it. It keeps my Intel i5 cool and calm.

Nice lighter, not so sure about the watch and is that a CPU sat next to it?

 

[Britton30]

Yup, it's a very old AMD Athlon I took pics of for a thread I did. The IHS is loose on it.

Doesn`t that make it tough to write on your calendar, Gary ?

so i decided on the Cooler Master GeminII S524 but stock on what fan to buy. it supports up to 140mm. so i was going to buy a LED fan and use the one that it comes with as an intake fan on the side.

COOLER MASTER R4-L2R-20AC-GP Case Fan - Newegg.com

Newegg.com - APEVIA 14SL-BL 140mm UV Blue LED Fan

i bought that 140mm one when i first ordered my parts, and its quite big and blue lol

or do you guys think a red one will be cool?

[Quadrider10]

anyone? what fan?

btw the RAM looks awesome!

 

[Dude]

I like blue fans, it really depends on your preference.

 

[Quadrider10]

I like blue fans, it really depends on your preference.

i can see the red one looking cool, and it would match the RAM, but nothing else. so blue it is. but should i get 140mm or 120mm?

Where are you using it ?

Where are you using it ?

for the CPU cooler.

also, this fan has a 3 pin connector
Newegg.com - APEVIA 14SL-BL 140mm UV Blue LED Fan

but the CPU fan header is a 4 pin. will it still work?

 

[COMPUTIAC]

The APEVIA comes with both 3 and 4 pin connectors.

Where are you using it ?

can i have a pic of your cooler on the CPU in the case?
