I did look for the NH-L12S but it's not available on Scan... it's design definitely looks better as the fan is below the fins - blowing air through them, as opposed to all other low profile coolers which I've looked at which have the fan above the fins - sucking air...

The NH-L9x65 does get great reviews though... here & here - they refer to the intel socket version but I'm guessing should be similar.

The case comes with 2 x 120mm fans with space for a 3rd.

I am starting to think that maybe I should wait for the 3000 series though as I'm guessing they'll run cooler due to being on a smaller process? And in the meantime I can buy the RTX 2060 & use in my current build - which should still see some massive gains... (i5-4670K oc'd @ 4.2 & SLI GTX 660s)

I love AMD, but I fear the 3000 series id getting way overhyped. The Matisse leak was actually an Epyc, not a Ryzen chip, and thus hard to predict if even the 12 core count is correct.

The L9x65 does great, but it's just certified for 95W and has not much reserves for more than that, which might get problematic with your aforementioned 4Ghz Ryzen, hence why I posted the other 2 alternatives. But like I said, might.

Because I have a system that should see big gains with the RTX 2060 I guess I can just grab that now and wait & see on the 3000 series...

Isn't the 2600 a 65W part?
