Hello,
What Air cooler will be best for this 3700x and will be enough for incoming 4800x?

In summer I can get more than 30-35 °C in my room so I probably need something good.
Also not every cooler is available in my country. I have looked around and found this coolers:

  • Dark Rock Pro 4 (hard to mount?)
  • Dark Rock 4 (covers 1st RAM slot?)
  • Scythe Mugen 5 (budget?)
  • Noctua NH-D15S (good clearance?)

Cooler should not cover PCIe slot and should not block RAM. Also it would be great if it was easy to mount.
It will be paired with B550 Tomahawk/Aorus Pro, RTX3000 and 3700x/4800x.

Which one can you recommend? Is NH-D15S best choice for me?

Thanks in advance
 
Solution
If the chassis isn't broken, or you're satisfied with it, then no need to fix it.
Dark Rock Pro 4: 162.8mm - won't fit
Dark Rock 4: 159.4mm (y)
Scythe Mugen 5: 155mm (y)
Noctua NH-D15S: 160mm - won't fit

My country is Poland, and the case that I'm thinking of buying (SPC RG6V) has MAX 162mm for cooler.
But if there is a need I will get different case for e.g. BQ 500DX.

I didn't buy PC yet, thats why I can change some things. Went with this chassis, because 280mm AIO can be installed on top - which can't be done on 500DX. Also It's 2x cheaper.

Are you sure that NH-D15S won't fit? My friend used this case with 159mm CPU cooler and he said it fits well.
