I will be building on an ASUS Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (AM4 Socket) motherboard, using G.Skill Trident Z-neo RAM and Samsung 980 PRO SSD's. Those are on order and I am trying to find a compatible cooler. I am considering a Noctua NH-U12A which contains a broad statement of "fits all modern boards" or something to that effect. My case is a full tower to insure there's headroom and the two fans on the Noctua can be offset a bit so I think this will work, but I'm asking to see if anyone has direct knowledge of the fit.
I would like to make this a themed build so I will be replacing the brown fans that come with the cooler with others that can be illuminated, etc. I am planning to overclock, so I thought the two fan Noctua was a safe bet. If someone knows of another cooler that is known to work with my configuration, I'd like to get that recommendation as well.
Thanks!
