Hello all,
I'm looking to upgrade my system that's 4 or 5 years old, and I decided to just do a full new build with a Ryzen 5 3600 HERE. The PC will be almost entirely for gaming, and even then it's basically World of Warcraft and whatever the wife decides to play on it. I'm also shooting for a good aesthetic and air-cooled, so basically my options are whether I want 1 or 2 silver or black towers. Silver towers are out and I've taken a liking to the Cooler Master MA620M, but I'm a little fuzzy on the clearance of the heatsink. Specs say it has a clearance of 165mm, but I'm not sure what to use for a case since almost everything I've liked, like the NZXT H510 elite, has a max clearance of 165mm, and the Phanteks P400a stops at 160mm. I'm assuming a 165mm clearance case would either put the heatsink up against the side panel, or it wouldn't clear the side panel at all and require me leaving it off. Is the clearance of this heatsink going to be a major issue for me, or is it not as complicated as I'm making it out to be?
