“I have had this PC for 2 and a half weeks, my CPU regularly gets up to 87C on the package temp with a gaming load. I need a better cooler, so what would be the tallest air cooler I can fit? Or should I buy a 120mm AIO?”

So I agree that the STOCK Intel cooler while on paper is technically sufficient its not ideal. The Top area for a Raditor is also flawed in my opinion. You essentially mount the Radiator to a plate. The top is not a true exhaust. Instead I went with a Noctua NH-C14S in the Low Profile Configuration. That has a height of 115m in that configuration. Installs easily and dropped my idle temps by 12C. Looks awesome too.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.HP still has not come out with a liquid cooler for this computer. Inside the top of this computer is a mounting plate for the fan and radiator. It is held to the computer with 4 Phillips head screws. Mount the fan and radiator first then the cooler on the CPU. Intel BXTS13X Water/Liquid Cooling Thermal Solution This is the only one I could find that had a four pin power connector. The mother board has a dedicated 4 pin plug for liquid cooler.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.HP does not maintain a database of compatible third party coolers. The system thermals are engineered to work well from stock without the need for additional cooling or other peripherals. If you do decide to change the cooler you would need to mainly ensure the cooler does not exceed chassis depth.
