Hello.
I decided to upgrade my case to a full tower case after getting some helpful advice from these forums
Now at the moment my case is quite small so the airflow is kinda meh.
I want to upgrade my cooler as the current one ( Arctic freezer 13 ) just doesn't cut it. The idle temperatures are at 40-45C. And it becomes quite loud sometimes.
(I OD at 4.3GHz)
My budget is 50-60£ - could go up slightly if performance would be worth it.
I've been reading so many reviews, forums, and just generally looking at peoples experiences with different products.
I am leading towards Noctua nh-d14 or Noctua nh-d12
The problem is, I do not know if it will fit my motherboard and still allow the RAM slots.
my motherboard is ASUS P8Z77 - V LX and I run 4x4gb ram slots.
( when this pc was built it said it would have 2x2gb yet when I opened the case I was greeted by a surprise )
Now If I get Noctua will my RAM slots be alright?
I have been measuring, but without experience in building PC's I am very confused.
While on the subject, if you guys would know at the top of your minds, some cooler that could fit without problems that would not affect the RAM slots? Or would one of the Noctua ( I presume would be d12) would fit this case without problems.
Thank you for your time.
