Hi everyone, I need your help.
My Arctic Freezer Pro 7 arrived today and I installed it not too long ago, however, the cooler is quite big. The beast has blocked one of my black RAM slots and it’s pushing against my Corsair 1600mhz Vengeance which is in the blue slot next to that. I’ve ran some stress test to make sure the cooler is doing its job and it is – max temp is 52C, but with Intel stock I get up to 62C (no overclocking). My question is - will this cause damage to the RAM slot/motherboard in the future? If yes, I’m going to remove it and get a smaller fan cooler (if you could recommend better one I would appreciate it) and get rid of the Arctic Freezer Pro 7. Computer specs info below:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LX
Processor: i7 3770
By the way, I’m using the two blue slots. Please share your thoughts.
Thanks!
