Just finalising a build. I would like a good cooler that will allow the 5800X to boost well. I am considering the be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4. Of course this is a large cooler, possibly similar in size to my current Phanteks twin tower cooler (see sig)!

Would the DRP4 fit in the Phanteks Evolv X case that I've ordered? I also need to fit in the Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 Nitro + which seems to be quite a large GPU. The mobo I've gone for is the X570 Aorus Pro.

Also, whats the best thermal paste these days?

Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
 
Noctua D15 is the other top cooler from what I’ve seen. Not sure about clearance for either, but a quick google should give you your answers if no one here knows. Paste wise Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is the go to for 2021.
