Hi all,
First time building a new PC today. I’m wondering if I can get some help, please?
It looks as if the cooler I have is too big for my case. Well, it fits in the case, but I don’t know whether it’s optimal. Currently, if I mount it (where I see most people mount it), it sits directly over the RAM slots. I imagine that’s not ideal. It doesn’t touch the RAM however.
Is that fine? I imagine it’ll be a pain if I ever want to upgrade RAM, however.
Is there anywhere else in the case it could go? Maybe if I remove the stock fans, but don’t even know whether that’s a possibility at this point. Any help would be appreciated. Even if the help is, “you need a bigger case”.
Examples below:
Build below:
Focus 2 Fractal case
Liquid Freezer 3 Pro 360
AMD Ryzen 9950x3d
Gigabyte B850 ATX WiFi6E
AMD Radeon rx 9070xt
