HELP: CPU COOLER REQ TO FIT WITH

[Darujhistan]

Asus Maximus Gene V and Corsair Dominator RAM (two sticks).

Case 650d.

I've had a look and things look tight near the GPU and RAM. Depth of cooler should not be a problem, as case is pretty deep.

Particulary interested in the views of anyone with similar set up.

Budget? £60 tops.


Cheers.

If height isn't a problem but you don't want the cooler to encroach too far in the other dimensions, the Noctua NH-U14S might be a good bet. Not too far off the NH-D14 in performance, but quieter and less massive.

That looks a very good option. Thanks.

Thanks Something else:

Just to clarify, does the Magahalems come with fans, or do i need to by those separately?

Do you know if the guy you mentioned (K2) had similar RAM to mine?

Thanks. Another option, and a different kind of solution.

The megahalems requires fans so it makes the cost of it quite expensive.

A closed loop cooler might be an option if you like them, not my cup of tea tbh.

not sure what ram he had. I will try and see

Yes, I did like the look of the blue one too, but extra money on fans is a bit steep for me. Thanks.

Someone just suggested a closed loop. I'll look into that.

Hi, do you know if my case (650d) supports the top mounted 240MMM radiator?

 

[Darujhistan]

Yes it does.

1x 200mm fan (compatible with two 120mm or 140mm fans)

Thanks. I might give one of these a go, it would leave much more room around the GPU and RAM. I know there are coolers that would fit my rig, but things will be tight.
