Oh...rest assured I do NOT like the connector itself. Just giving credit where credit is due. But yes, would've been better to put 2x8pin connectors in there instead.

Nobody has noticed that this places the connector right under an active fan? Smart actually, for a connector that likes to melt itself. Would've been neat to see a small heatspreader plate connected to the heatsink fins where the connector sits also!

THIS ISN'T AI.....STAWWWWP. Also, pretty clear Arctic branding ripoff....how are they getting away with that?

Sure, then just skip the fans next to the mobo and do the "typical" fan setup. The front intake fans should be plenty.

The left is a panel of glass.....

It appears to be set up to put your rad on the mobo plate exhausting out the side. Front intake fans. Could probably skip the top and bottom fans and just do the rear exhaust.

Burst Assassin wasn't cutting it?

AFAIK, any dual tower cooler that has 2x25mm thick fans is going to interfere with the RAM. The ones that have a "slim" 15mm fan on the front and/or an offset fin stack will clear the RAM slots entirely. ^ Scythe Fuma3

Should be fine without reinstalling.

Fun fact, even for non-3DVcache CPUs, [for gaming] cache size explains the majority of performance difference between CPUs when frequency is normalized. Core count still largely exceeds what actually gets used by games. Higher core count CPUs typically have lower frequencies than 6c or 8c CPUs...

These should be OR statements please.

Reduce the price by $100 and we can talk about "legend"

The stock 5600G cooler (like pretty much all stock coolers) is serviceable, but it's loud and/or hot. (I ran the stock cooler on my 5600G for a month when I first got mine) A $20-30 Thermalright cooler will be SIGNIFICANTLY better. The BA120 is a good cheap option.
