Hi guys I am running this setup and looking to put in an aftermarket cooler, I was wondering if anyone else has this sort of setup and what coolers are best. I am interested in closed loop water cooling mainly due to taking up less room around the cpu/ram area, this mobo also has raised armour close to the CPU which stopped my old cooler from fitting. I am worried about where to mount the water cooler in this case. Most posts I read state that a tower fan setup is best.

In regards to this I am interested in the noctua NH-D14 but worried about the ram slots, I have read that the gap is only 32mm where the trident ram sits at 39mm - 54mm. Any suggestions on higher alternatives for the case (19.4"(H) x 18.4 "(D) x 8.1"(W)) would be most welcome.

Thank you for your help.
