Hello guys! I've been overthinking the subject of CPU coolers while waiting for my Louqe Ghost. I know the NH-L12, due to a favourable test from Louqe, is the go-to cooler, but I have other needs.
It must not be in conflict with neither RAM nor heatsinks on the motherboard. In other words, a small footprint. Bending pipes or removing heatsinks is not an option. This means the Alpenføhn Black Ridge/NH-L12 is out of the question.
So, I'm left with the following:
1. Cryorig C7 or C7 cu with 25mm noctua fan (with fanduct)
2. Noctua L9i/a (possibly with fan duct if i get a 25mm fan)
3.Noctua L9x65 (turbulence issues?)
4. Other
Can any of you oracles point me in the right direction? Not planning on overclocking, just a silent cooler that stays out of the way.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
