Hi there!
I have been the whole day looking for specs and compatibility between the next components: Mobo / Cooler / RAM.
Initially, I was planning to mount a 120mm LP air cooler. I selected three.
Noctua NH-L12S
BeQuite Shadow Rock LP
Scythe Shuriken 3.
The thing is, Noctua and BeQuite are very restrictive when it comes to the RAM height (22mm). Noctua allow us to mount the fan on the top and get 45mm of clearance at cost of rising the height of the block up to 86mm. Scythe has shaped the block to make it taller in some parts so that the RAM can fit confortably.
I would like to mount RGB Led RAM (G.Skill or Corsair) but these are quite tall considering the situation. I have been looking for similar builds and I saw builds mounting these coolers on ITX mobos and RGB RAM like mines. That lead me to the next question
Can we mount air coolers in different orientations?
In case it helps, I'm working on the next components:
- Mobo : aorus x570 i pro wifi
- Coolers: Already mentioned
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO / G.Skill Trident Z
If anyone has the Aours, I would appreciate a lot his/her thoughts. I would like to know the clearance we have for the cooler. Does a 120mm cooler fits well or it hits the RAM?
