Case/Twin Fan Set Up

[foxtrot26187]

Thinking about picking this cooler up to replace my stock cooler that came with my Ryzen 5 2600. One big benefit it has is the ability to add a second fan, which to me means more cooling and more Red LEDs. The latter may sound trivial but damn do I love my some Red LED.

My main question is though, with my case being a Micro ATX Mini Tower Case (link below), would I have enough room for this particular heatsink/dual fan combo? And if so do I simply buy a secondary Case fan say from Corsair or do i need to look for a CPU fan that does not include a Heatsink with it?

 

Mobo: ASRock B450M Pro4

 

RAM: Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (in slots 1 and 3)

Well, according to the Apevia website: https://www.apevia.com/products-cases/x-qpack3-rd

The case has 7 inch (17.78cm or 178.8mm) clearance for CPU cooler, which is enough for Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED (I think 159.6mm) and Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED turbo (163mm). In your case, you should have plenty of room for almost every tower cooler.

 

Be careful of RAM clearance, though. I have to shift the fan slightly higher than the heat sink to accommodate my XPG D41 RAM.

Thanks for the tip and glad to know it should be fine!  Hopefully I won't need to adjust the fan too much, the RAM itself is just 2 sticks in slot 1 and 3 so the extra fan shouldn't come too close to it hopefully.
