I have a new PowerSpec G412 from Microcenter, Midsize tower. 7 1/4" wide. http://
Everything is stock and I am running python scripts 24 hrs a day and I would like the temps down so I could increase my python parameters. It's running mostly in the mid 60's but I get spikes up around 85 C and into the 90's if I try to run it the way I wanted.
How do I figure out how big of a cpu cooler I can fit? Not worried about left & right, or clearing RAM, I've get that. I'm pretty much sold on the Noctua's from a lot of research here. NH-D14 is compatible with the the i7 but short of taking off the current cooler I have no idea how to measure it. The height is 160mm, From the motherboard itself i have at least 165mm clear, but I know the chipset is above that. thanks...
