    Best Air cooler for GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3

    Just for the record: Just as I was about the buy the H100, I was able to try the Noctua NH-D14 without buying it and it fits nicely with low profile rams. I was also able to change my rams for low profile, so I bought the NH-D14. It covers all 4 rams slots, so I'll have to remove the cooler if...

    How to get good air flow with my case?

    I finally bought the HAF X. I was also able to change my rams for the low profile version, so I bought a Noctua NH-D14. It fits wonderfully. I've checked the documentation of my motherboard and the fans must use 1 amp or less and 12 volts. The fans on the NH-D14 have an input power of 1.2...

    Thanks guys. I would have preferred air cooling, but you told me exactly what I wanted to know.

    Best Air cooler for GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3

    Hi, I've got a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard and I was wondering what was the best air cooler that would fit on this motherboard. To complicate things a little bit, I've got 2 dimms of Corsair Vengeance. For those who don't know, the CPU and RAMs are really close. The case is not important...

    How to get good air flow with my case?

    Thanks again for the infos. I was asking about the fan just in case I wanted to try two fans with the cooler as I think I'll go with the Hyper 212+. I was thinking it's better to have two fans than just one, but I'll probably start with 1 fan and add another one later if I feel the need. As...

    How to get good air flow with my case?

    Another question. When you place a second fan on the cooler, can you use a splitter to have both fans plugged at the same place on the motherboard or is it necessary to have two plugs? Thanks

    How to get good air flow with my case?

    Thanks for the links. I found them full of good infos. I realized that I had missed that the usb3 cable on the Thor v2 as to go outside of the case, something I don't want. Thanks grausch for the advice on the fans. I was considering this also. I don't want to have to buy many fans with a...

    How to get good air flow with my case?

    Okay, so I've checked for cases. I chose to ignore the idea of modding my case as I'm not confident enough in my abilities to make something that I'll be happy with. ;) So, I've looked around and I've found these cases that seem all good and I like their look: Corsair 400R or 500R Cooler...

    How to get good air flow with my case?

    Thanks all for your answers. I'll have some research to do to find a new case. From what I understand now about air flow (thanks dragonstongue), even if I get another fan, it won't probably be enough and my power supply will get too much hot air.

    How to get good air flow with my case?

    Darn. I would have hoped to keep that case as it fits nicely on my desk. I cannot place the computer under because of a heated air vent. You're right about the coolers. It seems that I won't be able to place a cooler that is more than 130mm. Let's say I keep the case (which I'm not sure...

    How to get good air flow with my case?

    I'm planning on overclocking my computer soon and going crossfire and I want to have proper airflow. I don’t know much about air flow and overclocking. I chose component that would make overclocking easy and if it wasn’t for my case, I would be less concerned about air flow. I know it’s not...
