New rig for a mate.

The impending upgrade before BF3.
What I cooked so far.

Just wondering if that ram is low enough to fit the silver arrow, or would it be wiser to get a low profile one or maybe just buy a different cooler altogether.

The Thermalright is a excellent cooler, I would change the ram with something low profile.

Damnit think I just missed the hyper X ones on offer a few days ago.
Doesn't seems to be a lot of choices for LP ones.

And the slower crucial ones.

Why's everyone suddenly recommending the Gelid Tranquillo this past week or so?

Why not?

It does a decent job for £25.99.

I'm not disputing that. Just curious as to why everyone's suddenly recommending it and it seems to appear in every build. lol

Would you recommend a different cooler around the same price?

Great on sandybridge. I would have recommended the MUX-120 Black or Zalman CNPS10X quiet as well, although the zalman would be slightly off budget and the MUX is out of stock, and will probably get more expensive once it's back. It's a good deal for £30.
