Will the Coolmaster evo tx3 fit in my build?

[Nath_198]

Here is the setup, i have:

Case: Zalman z3 plus
Motherboard: Asrock b85m pro 4
CPU: i7 4790k (not oc'd)
GPU: MSI GTX 1080 TI
Ram: 4 sticks of ddr3 4gb ram 3000mhz (i think)
PSU: 650 watt

What i want to know is, would the cooler Im wanting, fit in my case, and will it also fit on the motherboard. As when i have looked in my case, the space i have, isn't exactly big 🙁

In this review they used a much better Crorig H7: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6311/zalman-z3-plus-white-mid-tower-chassis-review/index6.html A TX3 isn't the best cooler.

The tx3 isn’t the best no, but it’s a great alternative to a stock cooler that shaves like 30 degrees off of my friends ryzen 1700. Plus, with the motherboard I have, it isn’t able to oc, so I don’t need to worry about a cooler that can handle oc temperatures.

Also that review, that’s the same board as mine?

The Ryzen 1700 is a 65W CPU; you can't expect the same performance with your CPU. I know because I have a TX3 on an i5-4590 and it can get quite hot; the difference with the stock cooler is much lower than your expectations. If you want a small cooler, then get the better Cryorig M9i.
