Hi everyone,
So this question kind of overlaps a few areas but I feel the most important aspect here is the mobo, so I hope everyone feels this is posted in the right place.
To start off, I'm running an aging i7 950 on a dx58so motherboard. I'm starting to feel like I could benefit from some mild overclocking and be able to hold off a platform upgrade for a little bit longer-despite the fact I know I should likely do an upgrade it's just not in the budget right now.
Bringing us to the real question, does anyone have any experience fitting a cooler on the dx58so? due to it's ridiculous placement of ram slots, it seems extremely restrictive. I've attached a picture that shows the layout (ram directly above the cpu, sits at top of case).
Thanks a ton in advance everyone, really hoping someone has a bit of experience with this board.
