AM4 socket with Be Quiet Pure Rock/Slim Rock

[paszi95]

Hey guys! Im planning to buy an aftermarket cooler for my r5 2600 to overclock. I was looking at be quiet products and Im gonna decide between pure rock and slim rock. However I got into some trouble. I noticed that if you want to mount these coolers onto an am4 socket, the fan will look down and push hot air to the gpu. Im curious if there is any other way to mount the cooler so the fan looks to the back of the case.

The 120W TDP limit on the Pure Rock Slim is not something I'd be comfortable with. In fact with overclocking that TDP can be exceeded from the processors end. I'd advise on the Dark Rock 4.

I see, but i doubt the dark rock 4 will fit in my case. My case is a Masterbox lite 3.1 and it says 158mm is the maximum height it can handle. The dark rock 4 is 160mm high. Otherwise, the original problem might still occur in the case of dark rock 4. Can I mount it vertically on am4 socket?
