Ram Clearence

[rmonty]

What CPU cooler, preferably air, would you recommend for a mildly overclocked i7 4770k, Z87 Sabertooth build in a Fractal Design Define R4. The ram will probably be 2x 8gb Corsair Vengeance, however this can change if you think that it is too high profile.

 

Any help or suggestions will be gladly accepted.

Thank you in advance.

Mildly overclocked being 4.0 to 4.2GHz?

Go with Corsair Vangeance LP (low profile) memory and an NH-D14, can't get much better than that.

 

Or, you know, you can always go full custom water cooling :D throw the GPU in the loop as well and have an awesome quiet system with NF-F12 fans on the radiators ;)

Yes I was planning on going to around 4GHz if the temperatures are ok. ^_^

Thanks, I think that I will go with this configuration as the temps should be ok  :D

Using the NH-D14, you should easily be able to push about 4.5GHz :)

A Hyper 212 Evo should have no problems pushing your system to 4.0ghz.
