Best 92mm CPU Cooler for Intel & AMD [Under 150mm Height]

Most of the high-end, mid-range and even budget 120mm / 140mm CPU Air coolers are pretty tall in height, which makes them unfit for smaller computer cases and motherboards, or even with standard mid-tower cases that do not have enough height clearance for tall CPU coolers i.e. 150mm in height or taller. So, if you are looking for a compact yet powerful enough CPU Air cooler for your Processor and PC case then a 92mm CPU cooler is the best option. These CPU coolers come with a 92mm fan and heatsinks that are lower in height e.g. around 140mm or less.

92mm CPU coolers are also known as Mini-Tower CPU Coolers or Compact CPU Coolers. They offer much better performance than low-profile CPU coolers and deliver almost the same level of performance as a 120mm or 140mm CPU cooler of the same price. Moreover, they are much better than the crappy stock CPU cooler that comes bundled with the processors. 92mm CPU coolers can easily fit in most of the Mini-ITX cases, SFF cases, and almost all the Mini-Tower and Mid-tower computer cases. RAM clearance and PCI-Express slot clearance are never a problem with these 92mm CPU coolers as normally they do not obstruct DIMM and PCIe slots. You can also do a bit a little bit of overclocking too on these compact CPU coolers, but generally, they are meant for running your processor at stock speeds only. So, for users with compact builds, here I am going to list down the best 92mm CPU coolers for both Intel and AMD Sockets that you can also use with bigger computer cases too.
