    $2500 Azure Credits, what to do

    So I recently got a $2500 coupon code of Microsoft Azure from my IT company as bonus, and I seriously have no use for it.

    Need help with CPU cooler selection as well as RAM advice for gaming. Not looking for Liquid cooling though.

    LOL, your motherboard's spacing between the CPU and the RAM slots are also pretty Damn big too. So yeah no problem. I do not know about filling all 8 slots, but from what I saw you are only getting 4 RAM modules. So yes for sure

    You didn't tell which ram you have. If you only have basic DDR4 modules (those with no heatsinks or "decoration") any CPU cooler will fit into that massive case.
