Shadow rock tf2 much better than the 92mm cpu cooler?

Can’t fit sideways cooler... it’ll have to be 94mm

Build is looking real nice!

 

23 DB with the 120mm fan, a little bit louder if you use a ghost fan on the bottom also  You can also use low noise adapters, which just lowers fan speed and is kind of useless if you set it in BIOS.

Thank you very much for the suggestion and the web links. I’ve added two pics of my case and I have no idea why but they put a storage tray (ssd and a cd drive if you want) right beside my processor and above my ram. I have no idea why they didn’t move that tray to the other end I guess maybe to be able to fit bigger graphics cards but it’s in a horrible spot for me. 
 

if I flip the cooler around and not let it cool the ram and let it cool my vrm I’m afraid the copper heat pipes will interfere with my ram slot.

It looks like it’s the amd wraith max vs this noctua nh-u9s.

 

I like this noctua looks good and it’s bigger. 
 

ive read a good review about the upgraded fx 8350 stock fan and this noctua must be better than that, so we’ll see.

How does everyone feel about liquid cooling? I have a free spot for a 120mm fan and I could liquid cool. I see some are all in one systems so they require no maintenance and they’re not much more money? Seems like it would be much quieter and work much better?

I'd measure to make sure the Noctua fits. Especially since they give all dimensions on their site. I didn't realize the area was so cramped in there

Do you mean the L9 and not the U9? U is their tower line and L is the "low profile" line.

I like it! Using your case fans for an idea of room, I'd be throwing a tape measure on it for sure. The 128 mm height worries me a bit aha

I know, I’ve measured and I think that the max height I can go is 150mm so I should have some headroom.  We’ll see once it comes in.

You have a 8350, I had an 8370.

 I burned up an 8350 by overclocking it with a cheap motherboard.

That is why I no longer have the 8370.

I replaced the cooler on the companies server, with the wrath cooler and the temps dropped 20 degrees c. I was impressed, considering it was a phenom2 6 core.

 

I just bought the shadow rock tf 2, I believe the fan is 135mm. So I hope I don’t have any heating issues. 

[Computersarethebest]

Bought the be quiet shadow rock lp. Kinda excite to get it, returned the shadow rock, might be too big for my case. 
 

you guys must have massive cases to fit these coolers in them. 

[Computersarethebest]

Why is this at the top of my case? I don’t think I can mount a fan to this. 

[Computersarethebest]

Soooooooo I bought used ram (16 gigs) and my computer was working fine. 
 

I recently bought another 16 gigs and now chrome is crashing and when I run a ram test with windows it shows that there are problems.

 

they are both hyper x 1866 ddr3 8 gig sticks. The first two were made a few years ago and the two new ones were obviously made recently.

 

same company timinging voltage and everhthing and for some reason my computer can’t handle it? My mobo can handle 32gigs and I have 32gigs. What gives? 

[Computersarethebest]

I just found the vendors qualified list of ram that supported for my mobo and I guess only certain types of ram let me get up to 32gigs. 
 

that’s pretty stupid. 

[Computersarethebest]

Should I overclocked my ram for fun? I have ddr3 1866 and my mobo can handle 2133. I’m watching videos online and it seems like it’s just a simple bios button push for the next step up? I have hyper x fury 4 8 gig sticks. Do I need to increase voltage or just go up one step?

[Dr0y]

why not ... just check some video on how to OC ddr3 ram ... not sure there will be much noticeable increase in performance in real life task but in benchmark you should see some if the oc works well enough and you don't have to loosen timings to get to higher frequency.   Also careful with voltage ...

Before and after be cool cpu cooler....

 

my am3+ modo is fn nuts Kure
