Hello, just to share the reply from Noctua. Basically their cooler doesn't sit above the RAM slots because its smaller. The NH-U12S offers 100% RAM clearance and will be compatible with your RAM modules. The blue, red, and green rectangles on the image show the socket zones. This is a zone...

I just checked my shopping cart and it shows so I am good, thanks for pointing this out. 32GB G.Skill Flare X5 schwarz DDR5-6000 DIMM CL30 Dual Kit

Thanks to every one here helping me sort out my rig upgrade. Placing orders now :)

I actually think I need a new case as well then, to connect the USB C - because my current case only has USB-A Edit: after reading up on this, USB-C front connectors on my case front panel is not really a necessity. I like to have the extra slots, because I might add an M.2 tick in the future...

Hi, no not at all. It is a closed non transparant case. Cheers.

So this all seems to work together then. Also saves me 17 euro. :) Component Selection CPU AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 4.5 GHz 16-Core Processor CPU Cooler Deepcool AK620 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard Asus ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard Memory G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2 x...

Hi, yeah, the CPU, Cooler, MB and RAM will be new replacing the older parts the rest stays put. I dont know why I made the choices I made, I built my first rig, and now I want to upgrade it, but I want to make it future proof. My current rig is 8 years old. Still works fine, but want the...

Thanks, yeah I edited my comment after your replied, Funny, their website says they have 100% RAM clearance. I might just fire them an email. And I agree on the RAM, I like G.skill

Ah shoot, I was afraid of that. Thanks. So I need a cooler with a clearance of 45mm or higher or stubbier memory. Back to the drawing board. Funny, their website says they have 100% RAM clearance. I might just fire them an email.

https://pcpartpicker.com/ says the cooler is compatible. And the Noctua website says they are compatible as well https://ncc.noctua.at/motherboards/model/ROG-Strix-X670E-E-Gaming-WiFi-motherboard-5625 Apparently an AM5 mounting-kit is included since 01/2019

Ah yeah. Carry over from current build. I had only 1tb at first but then upgraded storage in my NAS and put the two 3tb that came from the nas into my pc

Finally switching from Intel to AMD. Is there anything worrisome in this set up? I am mainly concerned about any potential space issues with the cooler and the RAM Cheers. Component Selection CPU AMD Ryzen 9 7950X 4.5 GHz 16-Core Processor CPU Cooler Noctua NH-U12S 55 CFM CPU Cooler...

I have purchased a new set of RAM and now I have 4 identical RAM modules. It solved the issue with XMP, which is now enabled. I updated my BIOS to the latest version and I also enabled OC Genie 4. It seems the PC is purring like a kitten now.

Right makes sense and that is what I meant. Its like in photography, where in aperture the higher the number the smaller the lens opening is. :) Anyway, I have emailed the supplier to see if they can sort me out, because I ordered a dual kit but the modules are not identical. I will make some...

I just read that it won't work because those memory kits (the original 16GB & the newer 16GB) are different, or at least one is 15-15 & the others are 16-16, so they are not the same RAM type. Thats what my OP was about. XMP apparently only works with the same RAM kits. I tried manually to set...
