Hello all! I recently bought a Cooler Master H500 and am looking to cool a R5 3600 with either a NH-U12S, or a NH-U12A as the title suggests. I am more drawn to the A, as it seems to have two of their newer fans for an overall better price than just buying the items individually. On Noctua's site for the CM H500 case compatibility list, both options are 158mm in cooler height. The case is 167mm, will this be enough breathing room? I have never worked with air coolers before and am still sitting on a H100i v2 so I have no idea if that is optimal or may hinder performance. Thanks for any help!
On a side note, should I just sick with my H100i v2 if its still doing okay 3 years ish in? Or is moving to a new cooling system better for this new build / upgrade? Appreciate the help!
