What do you mean, the RAM? I've settled with G.Skill Trident Z 3200MHz CL14 (F4-3200C14Q-32GTZRX) since I guess this will make more of a difference than whatever aftermarket cooling solution would.
Never heard of that, but it seems on par with Noctua NH-D15 (pic related). And the name implies the company isn't filled with SJW.

...or I just like my PC to stay silent even under heavy load.
You never precised passive watercooling.
Thanks for the info, I'll be checking this out, considering my Chernobyl build reaches 80C+ when playing vidya

damn.
hahahahahaha woah
isn't the cpu fan turning in the opposite direction than the psu fan? if that's the case they're not pushing any air just creating a massive turbulence. flipping the cpu fan would help you a lot, or ideally placing it to blow on the side of the heatsink
That wouldn't do much at all, because then the hot air coming from the PSU would just blow right on the heatsink.
Hyper 212 Evo is the best bang/buck/noise cooler. Noctua is horrible bang for buck, and shit unreliable AIOs are just that and will not last you the life of the computer if you actually build computers with the intent of maintaining them. That money will give a 2600X the headroom it needs to OC itself very well - yes the stock cooler will keep the CPU cool enough to do so, but it will be louder. $30 for the performance boosts without the downside of the noise is worth it to me. Also extremely important that you choose a good case with good air flow (or one that can be modified easily to have such) and a bottom-mount PSU that does not dump extra heat into the case.
Never heard of that. Good to know. Any more info about brands/price range worth-it ratio?
