Hey, recently built a new rig with an akasa venom cooler and I've had loads of problems with temperatures, I've re applied thermal compound (Arctic silver 5, arctic cooling mx-3 and some akasa one) several times, re installed the heatsink a few times and now the backplate has snapped when i was tightening it, so im in need of a new cooler. I've got my eye on the noctua NH-u12p and im wondering if it'll fit in my antec 1200, with gigabyte UD7 mobo, and 6 gigs of corsair gt ram with the corsair airflow fan, im worried about one of the noctua fans clashing with the ram. also any other cooler suggestions would be appreciated. thanks
 
get a venomous X instead and use the fans which came with the venom

it shouldn't clash with the ram and will perform better than the U12P

I wouldn't go for an NH-U12P anymore. The NH-D14 is much better but you'd have to move the front fan up to accommodate the RAM. It's a shame the VX isn't in stock anymore as that is the next best choice.
 
just measured up and the noctua nh-d14 definetly wont fit in there with the ram fan installed. guess its back to the u12p or try and find a venomous x elsewhere :(

Ah didn't see the RAM fan, my bad. There's always the Prolimatech Megahalem or Thermolab Baram if you don't want to shop elsewhere.
