Aircooler, need help with recommendation

[pastymuncher]

They actually have cut outs for the ram but you do need to raise the front fan a couple of cm's to clear tall memory but from what I can see with mine it doesn't affect temps at all.

My issue with the Thermalright coolers is they seem to block ram, my ram is over 50mm in height so I'm limited.

50mm is high ram.
You could say the same for ram… some ram is so high it blocks coolers.

Yeah it's the vengeance pro stuff, sits about 51mm

There’s a single tower, if you look careful, which should be Thermalright’s answer to Noctua NH-U12A. Slightly less performance than Peerless Assassin, but none of the compatibility issues. Was 36ish quid on rainforest.

Thermalright U120EX REV.4​

Anyway, why OCUK doesn’t sell Thermalright coolers?

I assume they dont have the contract or a competitor dose so they just cant sell

Could well be the answer.

Thanks.

What cpu? I have the single tower on a 6700k is it’s good but I feel it would be over power fast with something like in new i7 or Ryzen 7000

Could always put the front fan on the back of the cooler so it sits above the IO. I’ve done that with my PA120SE and works fine.

Pretty much all hsf's that are decent do this, and 50mm is ridiculous, is it all tarty rgb I'm guessing?

I'd take my 31mm low profile corsair over rgb along with the freedom to have any hsf and a near silent air cooled pc, personally.

For how little ram costs I'd just sell yours and get your freedom back hsf wise?

If you have rgb ram and then you put a cooler over it… for the same cost of rgb you can buy some actually fast ram

And usually a posh cooler, and the savings of going air over look at me watercooling no one cares about with rgb blinding you in the face on your desk, is also a major bonus in the wallet, as it allows you to spend money on better hardware in general

Yep, listed in my sig... It's one of the tallest I think.

Wonder if a swap could be a thing via MM.

Like I said earlier in this thread:-

Ram clearance isn't that much of a issue with the Thermalright. I have the Peerless Assassin SE120 with fairly tall memory and you can easily mount the fan a little higher so it sits above the memory.

It's actually not the cooler itself that get's in the way, it's the fan. The cooler actually has cutouts for tall memory and it sits away from all four memory slots (on my board) anyway. There is nothing to stop you mounting the first fan to the rear of the front tower and the second fan to the rear of the rear tower. That way you will also be cooling the memory.

I second this having the PA120SE, you can move either fan to wherever you want with the clips.

In a pull/pull config?

Never thought of that.

 

[Wing-Man]

In a pull/pull config?

there would be no impact on cooling
