Help With My New Build?

SilverStone FT02 Fortress w/ Right-Sided See-Thru Window

AMD Phenom™II X6 1090T

Corsair HX1000W - Quad SLI Ready

MSI 890FXA-GD70 AMD3

Corsair Dominator 8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel

EVGA GeForce GTX 480 SuperClocked+ w/ High Flow Bracket and Backplate

Western Digital VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM
============================================================
Now i would love to get a CPU Heatsink....I need help tryin' to get the best one for my Mobo
Do to the fact that it will use all 4 memory slots & those Dominator has the blue heat spreaders...
Concern that the Heatsink wont fit if it has 2 120mm or needs 2 of them?

Anyone have best idea?...On my build before i start puttin' my Rig together....:confused:
 
If space is a big concern you might want to try a H50, but it means you need an intake 120mm fan.

Thats no problem could be mount on top
i did thought about that....But Heatsink seems to do better work esp when over clockin'
been researchin' for awhile Heatsinks the way to go just concern fitting it do to memory...Thanx!
 
Well the H50 seems to just as good as an high end heatsink esp with push-pull.
but if you are set on a heatsink one of these might work

cools well, and decently compact and cheap.


would not recommend that heatsink with the 1090T and overclocking..

best option would be to find out exactly how much distance from the processor to the side of the case then try to find a heatsink that fits within that.. seeing as it holds 3 120mm fans on the bottom my guess is your going to be limited to mostly 92mm vertical heatsinks..

...On the Silverstone FT02 thread look at this setup this is close to whut im building....[ Crumpler ] has the perfect build im looking for http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1429251&page=60

As you can see the Noctua NH-D14 Heat Sink w/ CM R4 Fans fit my concern is only my memory gettin' in the way do to the heat spreader....probably have to take the bottom fan & just go with middle & top fan?.....

Why not recommend that heatsink???...Which one you talkin' about not to use with the 1090T and overclocking..

Just FYI, CM R4s on a heatsink = no-no. The static pressure on those fans are meant for use as normal case fans, not heatsink fans. Switch those fans out for something like Slipstreams or Yate Loons

My question is can i use the Noctua NH-D14 Heat Sink with middle & top Fans?....Do to my concern with fittin' my memory do to the heat spreader gettin' in the way....
That link with crumplers build is just an example to show the space between fan & memory....as we all know the Corsair Dominator has heat spreaders & all slot will be takin' will 2 120mm fan middle & top do the job
