I recently assembled a Hackintosh and am testing it on Windows 10 (planning to install OS X soon).
While running Prime95, my CPU reached 93 degrees Celsius.
I’m considering purchasing the Dark Rock Pro 3 from bequiet because of its strength, stealth, and black design. Could it fit into my Corsair Air 240?
Best regards

This model won't fit.
The highest CPU cooler should be 120mm.
Liquid cooling is recommended.

Won't fit .
Optimal CPU cooler height

Liquid cooling is the top choice.

Which cooler do you suggest for boosting an i5 4690K? I really needed one!

Compatible Corsair Liquid Coolers include H55, H60, H75, H80i, H100i, and H105. Anything below the H80i is not worth it in my view.

The H100i GTX offers excellent value for the case and is ideal for CPU overclocking.

The design should match the specifications—it stands at 110mm and the case accommodates up to 120mm heatsinks. I’d choose the H100i GTX personally since it will surpass the performance of that air cooler. Any other air coolers that beat the H100i GTX are too tall for this case.
