Hey guys, I'm getting pretty sick of my fx8320's stock fan and I'm ready to upgrade to an aftermarket heatsink. Here's the relevant specs:
fx 8320
msi 970a-g43 motherboard
corsair 500r
corsair vengeance 2x4gb ram
What is the best cpu cooler (reluctant to do water cooling as I don't intend to do any crazy overclocks) I can get that won't interfere with my ram. The dimm slot closest to the cpu is open if that helps. I'd like to get a dual tower heatsink like a noctua nh-d14 etc, but I doubt it'll fit with my huge heat spreaders. I don't intend to get more ram, so if it takes up that first dimm slot it's no big deal.
I got the ram on sale when I was close to my budget and I would really prefer not to replace it.
Thanks for any help.
