Just like the title says, I'm not sure which of these two HSFs I should get so I want your help in deciding
My build will consist of the HAF 932 tower so there's plenty of room in there for the huge Megahalems which is actually the HSF that I would prefer to buy as it should run about 5C cooler than the Hyper 212
Also, I don't mind the price difference between the two. Besides, since that Maximum PC article came out praising the 212 and all the websites doubled the price of it, there's only like a $25 difference now anyway. But even so, price doesn't matter so ignore that
But here are my 2 issues that are holding me up:
1) I want to use this RAM from G.Skill which has huge heat spreaders so I don't think the Megahalems will fit since the RAM will be in the way. If it doesn't fit, could I just use this RAM instead since it has no raised spreaders? Is there any performance difference between the two RAMs (besides it having higher voltage and a higher latency?) What do you guys suggest I do here?
2) My mobo will be the GA-X58A-UD3R and there is only one CPU fan header on the board. Does that mean that I can't do a push/pull fan setup on the Megahalems? With only one cpu fan header, how would I go about setting up a push/pull config?
