CPU Cooler

[LJA]

Ok, here is the scenario. I have this rig:

 

Case: Lian Li PC-q39

CPU: Ryzen 3900x

Mobo: Asrock x570 itx TB3

RAM Tridentz NEO

 

so...from the list of coolers I'm going to put below (the only ones suitable for my  strange mobo), which one do you think can handle my Ryzen?,  while taking in consideration the max height of my case (120 mm) and the RAM clearance...it sucks that I'm from the arse of the world, and the Noctua NH-L12S can only be adquire in EBAY, so it's a NO.

 

Silverstone	NT08-115XP
Silverstone	NT06-PRO
Silverstone	HE01
Silverstone	AR11
Silverstone	AR02
Noctua	NH-L12S
Noctua	NH-C14S
Noctua	NH-L9i
Noctua	NH-D9L
Noctua	NH-U9S
Noctua	NH-L9x65

 

thanxs in advance!

The HE01 is 161mm tall and isn't going to fit. 

The best cooler of the list is probably the NH-C14S with the lower fan blowing towards the side panel.

I was thinking of that one or the NH-D9L, this last one will fit in the case, it won't have any problem with the RAM, but would it be enough for the ryzen beast?...I thought that the NH-C14S wouldn't fit in my case....it's sad that the NH-L12S is not avaiable in newegg nor amazon, if not even if it fells a bit short for a 3900x, its perfect if in the future I buy a case like the Louqe Ghost or sthg like that...the rest of the coolers won't fit in such a case

 

I've just saw that Noctua has a great sheet with the capabilities of every cooler regarding diff CPUs...that will be helpful

 

The NH-C14S in low profile will fit, but My RAM is 41mm and the low profile mode allows 40 mm RAM, might work, dunno

The NH-D9L isn't as good but should still be sufficient as shown in their extensive cpu compatibility chart.

What ram are you using?

1mm isn't much and the heatpipes can easily bend a bit to raise the fins and increase the clearance. 

 

FYI, you can use the Edit button to add in more info instead more making multiple posts.

Tridentz NEO

TridentZ Neo is 44mm tall and not 41mm but it seems to fit under the NH-C14S anyway.

Where did you git the height INFO? I've only managed to find those 41 mm in areview..it looks like the plain Trident Z NEO are taller than the plain Tridentz

It's on G.Skill's website. https://www.gskill.com/faq

They're the same height / dimensions.
