Hey everyone, I bought an i76700 the other day and I'm looking to buy an aftermaker cooler for it. I'm tempted to buy the Cooler Master Hyper 212X but since I bought two 8gb sticks of Corsair Vengeance LPX ram, I'm worried they might not fit. My case is a NOX Hummer ZX, which can hold a 160mm tall cooler, a 120mm water cooling radiator on top or 240mm one at the front, but the 240mm I honestly don't want to buy and I really don't think this cpu needs watercooling since it's not overclockable. Oh, and another thing: how do I control the cooler's fan speed? This is my first ever build and I'm new to the pc gaming scene so I would really like if you could clarify this. Thanks in advance.
 
You don't need a cooler at all, it comes with one a cooler. But if you don't want that, then get a Cryorig C7, it's a low profile, and 20% quieter and more efficient than the stock cooler. don't know what country you are in, so can't link.

Yes I actually bought some of the components there. Do you think this cooler is worth the money? Is it better than the HyperX?

Oh! So the motherboard controls the speed automatically, that's good to hear. Thanks for the reccomendation
 


Yes, and you don't have to worry about the RAM sticks getting in the way. I have a 212 EVO with G SKillz RAM. One thing about AIOs is that if it starts leaking, you're screwed. If the fan is bad, you are screwed. If the water is stuck, you are screwed. Just something to think about.

Ok thank you, I will take into consideration your reccomendation. By the way, how do I, in my profile info, put my PC's specs so that everyone can quickly view them, instead of me having to always type them
