I might know someone who impulse bought a new CPU (i7 3930) and RAM (16GB Corsair Vengance 4x4GB 2400) for upgrades. Let's just say they also bought a Noctua NH-DH14 for CPU cooling, neglecting to consider that the high profile RAM may not leave enough room for the heatsink/fan clearance. Now the poor soul I know understands that Noctua setup is one of the best cooling solutions out there; however, the RAM in question is high performance.
It seems that something has to give. Should my impudent friend switch cooling solutions in favor of the performance RAM, or return the RAM for something lower profile and possibly less zippy in favor of the keeping the CPU as cool as possible??
THANKS!!!
