Which CPU-Cooler fits best?

[rexfox]

Hay guys,

can you recommend any CPU-Coolers, that do not interfere with the quite high RAM(Corsair Vengeance black) on a msi z87 g45 gaming motherboard, but also cool good enough for a maybe overclocked i7 4770k, to run at around 50°C?

I hope you can help. I had the Alpenföhn Brocken 2 in my mind, but i don't know how he will perform.

 

Thanks

Overclocked 4770K at 50°C? You're going to have to aim for at least a H100i type cooler (and even that might not be enough).

[rexfox]

Thanks for the fast answer.

Was it a little bit to well thought? I have not very much experience with this things.

Okay then forget the temperature, I just wanna know your recommended CPU air cooler which doesn't interfere with the RAM.

If you want it to run at around 50C then you will have to go custom water cooling.

 

EDIT after reading the OP update: 

 

Low budget: Hyper 212 EVO

Medium: NZXT Havok 140, Xigmatek Dark Knight, 

High: NH-D14(might have to change fan orientation), Silver Arrow (same as Noctua about the fans), NH-U14S

 

The problem is that with high profile RAM such as the Corsair Vengeance you will be very limited with the choices you have with air coolers. Water coolers on the other hand won't matter since they won't even come close to touching the RAM. A good water cooler (240mm) is the Swiftech H220, H100i, Thermaltake Water 2.0/3.0.

corsair h80i or h100i are the best out there that wont interfere with ram

I personally don't like watercooling. Maybe in future fully watercooled system but today just air cooled.

Why don't you like water cooling? May I ask?

[Godlygamer23]

Then no. Water cooling is your only option if you want no interference.

rexfox, there is no problem at all with the closed watercooling loops, I have on of the earliset samples of the h50 and there have been no leaks, rattles with the pump, or anything like that, so if it's because you worry about the sustainability I would say that you can rest asure that the unit will not break or anything like that :D

Because i fear the problems, which can come with it. The leaking and so on.

Thanks, so you would recommend watercooling. Mhh, i always wanted to go with air cooling, but now i begin to think about it. The good thing is, that i have up to 4 weaks or longer before i have to make a decision.

 

Does anyone at least can answer my question which is the best air cooler, which don't interfere with the ram? ^^

[Laksen]

I have no idea about what aircooler to go with, but when going with a watercooler, closed or self made, you also get the benefit of a very queit system, even under loads :-)

I am looking for prices for watercooling system and there comes up another problem, because it's quite expensive. Mostly double the  price of an aircooler.

Do you think is should try the Alpenföhn and test it if it works for me and eventually send it back?

Measure first. Make sure it'll fit.

[Laksen]

Still with the clearance problems, you will not have any problems with a watercooler. In my country, the h110 is 42% more expensive than the noctua NH-D14, and 266% more expensive than the alpenföhn :-)

Bequiet Dark Rock pro 2

[rexfox]

But the Dark Rock Pro interfere with the ram or not?^^

Besides thanks for the help.

[Godlygamer23]

According to this image, it will. http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2011/04/be-quiet-dark-rock-pro-review/darkrockpro-3b.jpg

What do you guys thin about http://www.phanteks.com/PH-TC14CS.html ,

if i just mount the top fan or a very thin bottom fan it should work.
