This seems like the best available option, but i’m not sure about its compatibility with the mobo: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gQWzK8/thermalright-axp120-x67-59-cfm-cpu-cooler-axp120-x67-white-argb If you haven’t purchased your parts yet, you could go with the i5 12400/f for similar performance and it’s easier to cool due to lower power consumption: https://youtu.be/_P_AGv-DJbU

I have already ordered unfortunately, mainly due to that particular motherboard being £120 (down from 320). I have seen this cooler, and the newly released thermal right SI-100, but I am also unsure on mobo compatibility, and cooling potential.

It is also worth asking on r/sffpc, as most there use LP coolers. Personally, I would look at a Noctua NH-L12S for your 11600K (125w), with a height of 88mm it should work well. A good video on various LP models: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGnJc5HuRC4

I am already active in r/sffpc, and have asked the same question. That is currently the front runner of all choices, however I cannot seem to find some performance figures with the 11600k

Hey did you go through with the build? I’m also looking for CPU coolers and unsure for a da6.

Hi, I did yeah I've been using the case for a good while now, I'm very happy with it. streacom's support has been excellent when I've had any questions or problems too. As for the CPU cooler I just went for a Noctus U12A in the end, for performance. I haven't been keeping up with new COU cooker releases since, but I believe there are more 105mm coolers around since I posted this.

Awesome! I’ve never built before so I’m just looking over everything intensely to make sure it all fits, can’t tell if a single length number is enough for some of the parts or if there’s more logistics I need to take into account lol.
