XPS 8930 slim case - need cooling unit specs to replace
I'm needing to replace the CPU cooling unit on my slim case XPS 8930. I'm looking for help because this case/motherboard has some interesting difficulties. Namely, the PSU is almost on top of the cooling unit, meaning I can't get something of a normal height and because of the Dell motherboard I need something with the specific mounting set up for the board. I was wondering if anyone knew the specs I need to know when shopping for a new cooling unit.
XPS 8930 slim case.

To replace the CPU cooling unit on your XPS 8930 slim case, look for a low profile cooler that fits beneath the PSU and has a mounting setup compatible with Dell motherboards.

Here is a new premium CPU cooler, Dell part 0KTDJC. It is compatible with 0T57JF for your XPS 8930.
For a complete cooling upgrade, you may consider to change the 92 mm top fan to a larger 120 mm fan. Also adding front fans to the existing fan mounts.
