When Installing a CPU Cooler, should I do it out of the case? or inside the case. I'm not sure if it's going to interfere with anything, I have a cryorig h7 cooler, and I think installing it out of the box is easier. is that true? or should I do it inside the case, or it won't even matter

i did it in my case

i have an s340 with an h7

it was pretty simple

if your mobo is already out of the pc, do it outside

but if you have a big cpu cutout, go for it

I'm planning to get the s340 alongside it as well.. it doesn't really matter right? won't block anything?

i thought it was an aio

then i looked it up

basically, whatever looks best to you

LOL, okay.. and it doesn't really matter does it? I think doing it outside the box is pretty much easier.. idk why, but it won't have a difference correct?

doesnt make a difference, but put it on outside

it makes a really good handle when putting it into the case

Bro, you might have just solved my problem.

 

What slots did u use for the RAM on ur KRAIT mobo? I assume its in dual channel which would mean it would need to be in both the black or both the white.

 

Which ones did u put it in please?

IMG_20160208_164221.thumb.jpg.18b7960647the h7 has no issues with ram clearance on my mobo

you can fill up all 4 slots if you want

it doesn't matter what size the heat spreaders are
