Need the best possible CPU Cooler that's air cause I don't want to risk leakage. THAT WILL FIT. I have no idea if a cyrorig will fit on this etc.

I don't really have a budget for a CPU cooler. Just make it around 100 usd or less 😛

Will OC and I will be streaming on this so the temperatures matter a lot. The case stock fans should be enough right? This case comes with lots of fans so..

I made the same mistake with cooling on the first PC build im using now. I won't go lightly on cooling. It's bullshit when people say u dont need good cooling if u dont plan to OC.. Cause you do.

Thanks 😀

I also don't know how to mod the cooler to make it fit and shit.. So like yeah. if i need to trim something (just an example) tell me when recommending the cooler. thanks.

This is the best aircooler on the market and it is in your budget https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NH-D15-heatpipe-NF-A15-140mm/dp/B00L7UZMAK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1499953703&sr=8-1&keywords=noctua+nh-d15
On corsair website it says max height of cooler 170mm the noctua nh-d15 has 165 so it should fit.

I believe i looked at that and it didn't show up on compatible motherboards. And Will it let me slide my ram in, and let my GPU have some breathing space?

Noctua D15 is good but big asf

I just need to know from someone that has it and make sure it will work with my shit etc

 

[Dragos Manea]

Yes it is very big, about ram dont worry you can glide the fan a bit up and down so it doesnt touch ram, well abotu breathign space, all the cpu area will be blocked and you will have hard time to unmount cpu cooler fans because of teh close proximity of teh cooler to teh videocard. This is a cooler which if you mount it you get great performance but you cannot unplug and plug your components so often. Once mounted stays mounted for a longer period of time because is pretty hard to access the videocard. Dont worry it does not touch videocard or ram but is very hard to access them.
This is from my pc:

So you know 100% this will work on this build? And I wont have to use suboptimal slots for my components? If you say yes then I'll take ur word for it and get it.

I just saw ur picture.. Where even is ur ram? LOL.

Holy shit it's so big dude WTF lol

So how would I even put it on? I feel like it's TOO big.

Too bad liquid cooling is 2 risky for me

ur by far the most informative. Thanks! So this 1 over the cyrorig for sure? And The mounting kit is required or something it says for my motherboard on the Compatability site for the D15.

 

[Dragos Manea]

One thing, you must use low profile ram afor example kingston savage or fury, corsair lpx or something similiar

EDIT: I see you already got lpx, it will fit. The ram is under the cooler 😀 except for the access thing how i said they are fine, it does not touch them.
This is ym computer now, why is risky on water? As you can see i ahev everything on water now.

 

[Justacatintheforest]

Okay thats good and I don't need to access them anyways should be fine. Ayy thanks brogod u helped me lots.

I'll get this one and it's quieter than the cyrorig anyways.

 

[Dragos Manea]

And much more powerfull, it is the best on air, only thing that tops that is water cooling. BTW i got a similar case to yours graphit 780T white and you have plenty of water cooling support, why not?

Get the Cryorig H5 Universal, performs with the best, and RAM clearance is better while keeping the size down.

 

[Justacatintheforest]

I don't like water cooling because its bound to have a fuck up.

leakage is 2 risky for me considering I'd be using an AIO and not my own uh... line system or w.e it's called. So it would just drip all over my components.

or else i would 100% use water cooling.

Unless u have a GOOD water cooler that has no chance of leaking.. then idk 2 risky i guess lol.

Just in case you didn't already know: In water cooling solutions, you'll normally not use the water you usually drink, but distilled water, which doesn't conduct electricity, so no chance to kill your PC because of a leakage.

Of course, if the water gets into a fan or similar places, it might still have some pretty unwanted effects... but I guess you have to be quite unlucky for that to happen if a leakage occurs.
