So the AMD processor i have is known to run hot and it has been for me.

However, the way my motherboard is designed, my memory sticks get in the way of a dual-rad cpu cooler like the corsair h100i.

So i was wondering if anyone know if the tubing on the dual-rad cpu water coolers is long enough to have the rad mounted on the front of the case instead.

 

 

My build consists of:
Corsair Spec 01 case
Asus m5a97 r2.0 motherboard
AMD FX 8350 black edition cpu

Here's a list of builds (w/ pics) that have that mobo and H100i.  I don't see the problem with the hoses.

Just how tall are your memory sticks?

Well i don't want to bother with the hassle of buying it online and having to boxing it all back up just to return it if it doesn't fit.

so i thought it'd be a good idea to ask around here.

The issue isn't that my sticks are tall but rather that my case doesn't proved much more room than enough for a fan between the sticks and the top of the case.

Oh well with the way you worded it in the top I thought you already had the stuff.
