CPU fan for ASUS 990FX Sabertooth R 2.0

[graphicsgriffin]

Hi everyone.

I need some advice on selecting a proper CPU fan and heatsink. No over-clocking, an air fan should be enough. Main concern here is the fan's physical dimensions. Because I am using all of the four available RAM slots, not all fans may fit properly.

My CPU is somewhat above recommended temperatures, it is reaching 65 C at full load. My room temp is somewhat high.

My system specs:
ASUS 990FX Sabertooth R 2.0
AMD FX 8350 4.0 GHz
Corsair 600 T case
32 GB DDR3 (4x8GB Kingston)
MSI HD 7870
Corsair 650 Watts PSU

Since you are not overclocking, you could go with a Hyper 212 Evo and it will be plenty. You can slightly offset the fan if the RAM is tall.

My ram is Kingston Hyper X black

All of the four slots are used. With this RAM will I have to move the fan a little or will it fit just right with no additional effort?

The fan clips allow the fan to slide up/down as needed. But those RAM you have won't be a problem and will have plenty of clearance.
