Hey guys! Im planning to buy an aftermarket cooler for my r5 2600 to overclock. I was looking at be quiet products and Im gonna decide between pure rock and slim rock. However I got into some trouble. I noticed that if you want to mount these coolers onto an am4 socket, the fan will look down and push hot air to the gpu. Im curious if there is any other way to mount the cooler so the fan looks to the back of the case.

The 120W TDP restriction on the Pure Rock Slim isn't ideal. Overclocking could easily push it beyond this limit. I recommend considering the Dark Rock 4 instead.

I understand, but I'm unsure if the Dark Rock 4 would work in my setup. My case is a Masterbox lite 3.1 with a maximum height of 158mm. The Dark Rock 4 stands at 160mm, which could cause issues. Would it be possible to install it vertically on an am4 socket?
