Hi all,
I'm looking for a new CPU Cooler to buy, but am having some trouble finding one that will be compatible with my setup.
Specs:
i7-4790k
4x DDR3 Corsair Vengeance Pro Series RAM (Red, if that matters)
ASRock z97-13b Motherboard
Thermaltake Chaser Mk-I with the stock fans
Now... there's a couple things that I've been considering here. For one thing, AIO or air? If I do AIO, the only thing that makes me nervous is screwing around with the already good airflow in the case (since I'd need to set up the radiator as an intake, and both the back and top fans are set as exhaust... would moving the top fan to the side of the case work?); and if I do air, I need something that will clear all four of the Corsair Vengeance RAM modules.
Can someone give me a good reccomendation for a CPU Cooler or fan? Also, are AIOs really as safe as they're made out to be, as far as leaks go?
I'm looking because the stock heatsink that came with the processor managed to detach itself on 3 of the 4 screws sometime while the PC was running, and the processor started staying at around 95C-110C when idle/just turned on.
Thanks for any and all advice.
