Hey guys, so like the title mentioned I'm setting up a new build and I have some questions about the configuration and orientation of certain parts and I'd like some opinions.
The build will be:
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower
link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233
CPU: i7-4790k
link: http://ark.intel.com/products/80807/Intel-Core-i7-4790K-Processor-8M-Cache-up-to-4_40-GHz
CPU Fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
Motherboard: Asus z97-AR
link: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z97AR/
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL
link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231489
PSU: CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027
GPU: Saving up for Nvidia GTX970
With these parts in mind, I had some questions on compatibility of the parts. 1. Will I be able to fit my G.Skill RAM underneath the Hyper 212 EVO or will it obstruct the first slot? (In which case I would use slots 2+4 for RAM?) 2. What Orientation should I have the Hyper 212 EVO for best temperatures? I'm currently only running stock fans in the case. 3. Should I invest in aftermarket fans like noctuas? (link:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608026&cm_re=noctua-_-35-608-026-_-Product)
Any input on these questions would be very appreciated!
Thanks!
