If their mounting solution is the same at the HP board I have you'll run into a small hiccup mounting a non OEM cooler, the heat sink back plate is also the back half of the CPU retention contraption. I have essentially the same cooler here on a HP Memphis B motherboard (From an older HP Omen). The Cryorig C7 could be an option, it's in the $30 range and should work better than that stock HP cooler. All 3 of these combined to drop both GPU and CPU temps substantially under full benchmark loads and make the system noticeably more quiet during moderate use. After that I closed up some vents to force the fresh air to be pulled in over the motherboard from the rear. ![]() ![]() Next I pulled the IO plate and flipped the front fan to pull air from the case instead of blowing in. First I boxed the GPU up so it's heat was all being ejected from the case and it would only draw fresh air from outside the case, that took it's heat load out of the equation worrying about temp inside the case. I was able to get a noticeable overall drop in system and CPU temp by doing a few simple things. ![]() ![]() My problem was compounded by the fact that the front fan blew at the RAM which blocked fresh air flow to the CPU cooler (just using the stock i3 cooler on the i3 since it's not high power). I have a similar situation with one of my Mini ITX systems where the PSU overhangs the CPU and limits to either liquid cooling or low profile air cooling. That's the rub with these systems sometimes, very limited room.
