I haven't placed an order yet though

I don't really have a good reason, I don't mind if its not the fastest but it's that I just want to try the Amd side of things and if that brings a lot of negative reasons towards it, I won't mind. All the pre-built computers in my house are Intel Powered PCs, I want to see and experience all the parts to the AMD Side. It's kind of stupid but that's just me...

OK thanks for the recommendations

I actually have my reasons

Does your PC power on then off? Or is it that the CPU fan twitches when you press the power on button?

Hi I've been recently planning to buy and build myself a PC, it's my first time. My CPU of choice is a Amd FX-9590, here's where the problem begins... I originally was planning to buy a Cooler Master Hyper 212 evo to cool it, but I read some posts regarding this CPU, and it's high tdp 220w would be to high for the CPU cooler to support, therefore I went at looked even more. I then had to make a choice, either air cooled or water cooled. I didn't really like the idea of water cooled so I went air cooled. I had chosen 2 CPU coolers, the Cryorig R1 Ultimate and the Noctua NH-D115. And another problem is introduced. I looked at the images for each of the CPU coolers installed, and they seem to be quite, well... "Large". Large enough that they overhang over the RAM slots, I checked my chosen RAM sticks and they were not low profile. Now here's my question, is it possible to rotate the CPU cooler to have it face vertically not horizontally. Should I go water-cooled. Or is there another Air-cooled CPU cooler out there that would be smaller?
