Hi all!
I'm officially fed up with my water cooling loop; maintenance, algae growth, unjustifiable parts cost (12 euro a metre for tubing...) After a leak yesterday (nothing bad! phew!) I've decided to sell my loop that I've been running for 3 long years and settle for some good old fashioned air cooling.
I had some overclocks on the CPU but no school is starting again, classes are becoming more and more difficult, I go to an IT school (oh, the irony!) but I don't have time to keep up with the quirks of a custom loop.
I was looking at the NH-D15, be quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 etc etc. What I mean is that I'm looking at the top of the line air cooler lineup.
I don't intend to overclock, I just want the most silent and most reliable PC (the loop was stupid loud) I know these are way overkill but money isn't a problem
I was also looking at the NH-U14S (though for 20 euro I'd rather just get a super beefy one)
My main concerns are:
Will one of the beefy air coolers smash, ruin or warp my motherboard
Will RAM fit (Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB DDR3)
Please use www.amazon.it to link suggested products
My system is
Maximus VII Hero
i7 4790k
16GB HyperX Fury RAM
EVGA PSU
GTX 780 DC2OC
Corsair Obsidian 750D (will swap for a NZXT H440 shortly)
Samsung 850 Pro
Seagate 3TB Barracuda
Thanks in advance!!
