Ok currently i am using a Cooler Master 612s and its Massive, it takes over 2 ram slots (and thats fine) and keeps my cpu (a 8350? amd 8 core piledriver overclocked at 4.5ghz) nice and cool at 24c idle and 57 at the hottest when rendering using keyshot.
The problem is i had to make my case wider to fit it in (Inwin H-Frame) and it just looks ugly, both the heatsink and the way i had to widen the case.
So my question is what shall i replace it with? takeing over 2 ram slots is fine as long as i can just use low profile ram in the future, it must also be relativly quite and bonus points for a nice glow.
Currently i'm looking at this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-059-ZA&tool=3
It looks not quite as tall but about as wide? would be handy if someone had measurements.
PC Spec's.
Amd Piledriver 8350 8 core.
Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X WindForce 3X OC x2 in crossfire.
16gb ddr3 1600mhz? Viper ram.
ASrock extreme3 r2.0.
Akasa Cobra Power 850W Modular Power Supply.
In-Win H-Frame Case with 2x Silent White Led Fans and Bitfenix white led strips.
As far as usage goes it's used for making assets for games and movies as well as testing and making them on, so it must be able to stay cool over long periods of time.
Thank you
