Hi guys, I'm planning to change my xigmatek gaia (with custom fan as the old died) for some new cooling for my fx 8350. I've got some above average overclocking in mind (not 5,0 but 4,8 with some luck would be ok). I wanted to ask if you think titan fenrir siberia TTC-NC55TZ(RB) will be enough for that. The reason I'm interested in this particular cooler is that my ram sticks are quite high and close to cpu and can get in way of some larger cooler, meanwhile this cooling is designed for such situations. Here's the link:

Problem with that processor is it starts using 125W. When you overclock, TDP rises rapidly and much faster than your processor speed. I'd be worried if that cooler can keep up at the extremities.

The good thing is that it seems to have great airflow over other motherboard components. If you use, for instance, an AIO water cooler, then sometimes it's the other motherboard components that overheat due to less airflow over them.

Well, that added benefit of cooling the rest of my mobo is something i was looking at as well. I just cant figure if it'll be as good with cooling the core so i can get it to stable 4,6 or 4,8 for everyday use (gaming in mind).
