need advice on cpu cooler, asus sabertooth and amd 8350

August 6th, 2016

I’ve just ordered an Asus sabertooth 990fx board. I ordered an Amd fx8350 black for it too. I ordered a pair of gskill ripjaw x ram modules as well. My concern is a quality, yet reasonably affordable cpu cooler that will not crowd the ram. As of now 2 ram modules, but soon I am going to add two more. This will all be going into my. Antec 900 case. I appreciate any and all advice.

My son has same mobo and cpu, cooled with a Corsair H80i (closed loop), this fits nicely and the back of the case, well away from the ram. The H60 version is slightly cheaper (about 50GBP if you shop around) and would be sufficient (depending on what level you want to overclock, if you do overclock that is), as the FX8350 does run pretty cool (although TJ max is lower than Intel).
