Question Dark rock pro4 or slim?

[paniczer0]

Hello, i have a corsair carbride air 540 and i am wanting to put an i9-11000k, MSI z590 torpedo MB, Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB 2x16 DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 AMD optimized memory into this case. will the Darkrock pro be worth the $20 more and fit or would the slim be the safer way to go?

Carbide 'Pro'? I can't find that model. Can you double check that?


What is the i9 going to be used for?
A)Just game, either is fine... but if spending on an i9, might as well get the larger cooler...
B)Got some work that will load up all the cores? Then skip the Slim.

mainly gaming sorry, it was an carbide air 540 idk what i was thinking

Ok, then either cooler will suffice.
Whether the DRP4 will be worth the additional $20 is something only you can answer, due to different personal views on money.
Games don't use that much power. Users sometimes see higher core temperatures because of the gpu in the system.

I shall add, that if I were in your shoes, I'd get the DRP4: get the biggest air cooler that fits in the PC - within reason.
