I'm assembling a compact ITX system using an i5-10400. Leaving the Noctua cooler off would cut costs by over forty dollars. I noticed the chipset comes with a cooler, but I'm unsure if it will fit in the case. The Silverstone sg13 V2 is listed here: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WG2bt6/...-sg13b-usa. Could anyone verify the dimensions of the cooler? Thanks! Edited March 22, 2022 by splootbloot wrong cpu

Choose not to purchase the Noctua cooler; opt for alternatives like stock models or Amazon options. If the stock cooler doesn’t fit, consider buying the Noctua version or returning it if applicable. The stock cooler with the 12400F is 47mm tall, and the recommended max height is 61mm, giving you roughly 1.5cm clearance above the unit. This should be sufficient.
