Hello all, and thank you for reading my post.
I am building a mATX setup with a Z87 Gryphon MOBO, 4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance (with the heat-sinks that stick up on top) and the Hyper 212 PLUS (not EVO). I received all of the components listed here for a great price from a friend who takes care of their stuff, so it was a very smart move for someone like me who is trying to save on cost with my new system build.
When staging how it will work when installed, the Hyper 212 Plus looks like it's 120x120x25 fan will definitely be touching/impeding on the heat-sinks of the first stick of vengeance ram when the fan is at the location to push (i have yet to actually build the pc, still planning here).
I do not want vibration or the hyper 212 plus to be off center on my processor.... so..... what i'm asking is, are there sufficient 120mm fans on the market that are compatible with using on the 212 plus but are THINNER than the stock 25mm, so that i can leave it at the "push" function?
Or should i just move the fan (currently on the side of the ram, set to push air in) on the other side of the cooler and "pull" towards the exhaust 120mm on the back of the case instead and not even worry about it? How much of a difference does push or pull make in airflow/cooling?
Which is a better decision here? i am not over-clocking anything on my computer. however, i'm using a mATX case and with such cramped space, i believe the airflow is important.
Thanks for the time everyone.
