I've been browsing for a aftermarket cooler for some time and decided to go with the NZXT Respire T40 when I found out recently that my mobo (Asrock A88X-ITX+ Mini ITX Mobo) has a vrm on its back which does not allow mostly any aftermarket coolers to be installed. I am still not sure if the NZXT Respire T40 could be installed or not so if anyone knows please be sure to tell me. The only one I could find that was compatible was the Noctua NH-L9a because of its optional backplate-less installation. So I was wondering if anyone else has this board or knows of its compatibility with other coolers. Could you please tell me?

Haha thanks, I've checked PC Part Picker but a tiny note says at the bottom of all your chosen parts saying that '* Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders." So I am not quite sure.

yes you will , it only just struck the closest ram to the cpudo you have the cooler or going to buy it ?
I'm either thinking of buying the Noctua NH-L9a or NZXT Respire t40. The noctua seems way too expensive for its cooling temps so i want to go with the NZXT Respire T40 unless I find a new and better cooler.

Thanks! But considering the temps, I'm still thinking of the NZXT Respire t40. I've also found the Silverstone AR02 Cooler. It seems decent but I'm not sure if it'll fit or not.

this is an excellent cooler
http://evatech.com.au/cpu-cooler/2791-cooler-master-cpu...
but did not suggest it because i thought you didn't want coolers with a backplate

One of the online reviews said that coolers like the 212 Evo will not fit. But I found out that the NZXT Backplate has a lifted backplate except for the parts which hold the screws. In this case I think the only tower cooler I can go with is the CM TX3 that you recommended me or the Respire T40. Cause you installed one for your friend, you should know if the backplate is lifted. Is it actually lifted except for the parts where it connects the screws?

Also - for high cpu temps, you should check what's causing it. If re-seating the cpu cooler didn't work and you're still getting 110C (I hope that's core temp and not case/package temp). Can you download and run HWINfo - Sensors and post the resulst? It juts might be voltages - from psu, as set or bad mobo or just wrong fan rpm/fan profile.

It still shows the same temps. 90-110 degrees while gaming.

Why don't you just use the stock cooler than comes with your cpu?Because recently while gaming, I have seen my CPU run at over 110+ degrees. I am not sure if it is the CPU problem or it is my cooling solution.
If you're not overclocking it, the cpu cooler isn't doing its job. Try turning up the fan rpm. Clean out the cooler. Re-install the cooler with new thermal paste
If you're overclocking it then get a custom cooler.
But don't let it get to 110C again. That'll kill the cpu.
