Air cooler designed with sufficient space / All-in-one unit
Air cooler designed with sufficient space / All-in-one unit
Hello, I'm setting up a mATX system:
-i5-8600k
-Z370M GAMING PRO AC
-16GB of G.Skill Trident Z RGB
-Case: Fractal Design Define Mini C.
This mini case supports up to 170mm coolers, but with Trident Z, most air coolers face RAM clearance issues. I'm planning to overclock to 5.0Ghz. Anyone have good advice on a suitable AIO and air cooler that will work with Trident Z? Budget around $100. Noise isn't an issue since I always wear headphones.
Nice case. The noctua suffix coolers have been updated to remove tall ram heat spreaders. Check out the NH-D15s and NH-U14s models—they both manage high overclocking demands. They’re positioned slightly apart to clear graphics card backplates in the first PCIe slot. Here are the details:

You’ll have room for two front 14mm intake fans, which should be sufficient.
I’m assembling with the NH-D15s and an I5-8600K into a Silverstone TJ-08e. Trident Z is also in the mix.

Any recommendations for an AIO?
