MSI 970A-G46 Aftermarket CPU cooler

[Andrew Stinnette]

I'm interested in buying one, as I've just bought a GTX 770 and I'm running hot while playing BF3 Maxed out, I'm getting around 70c Plus or minus 3 degrees. I Have a FX-8350 and the stock cooler is literally like 3 mm away from my ram stick, I was wondering which aftermarket cooler would fit because i noticed they are all quite large.

Also, one last question pertaining to fan setup for my case I have a corsair 600t I have the front grill taking air in and the top pushing out and the one on the back of the case pushing out, should I add another fan or what is the best config, sorry for all the questions and thanks ahead of time!

Might look at Zalman, they've got some good ones that aren't as large as many of the more mainstream ones you hear about........depending on the model, can add a fan to the side panel, think the graphite 600T allows up to 4 side fans

Do you think it'll clear the ram, also do you know anything about fan setups?

I lik the top, side and front pulling in and the rear as an exhaust...as far as the CPU cooler, it would depend on what you choose

I was looking at the V6GT , but it looks like a monster, Any specific suggestions?

Thought you were looking for something smaller
