Recently bought a pc in individual pieces to put together (this is my first time ever).
All was going well, put the CPU in, started putting the CPU cooler on, it's a NZXT Havoc.
What I saw after it was on is that my ram won't fit. Corsair quad 4Gb sticks.
Now 2 possibilities that I can see....either
1) use the standard intel fan that came with the CPU and sell or do something with the cooler.
2) option 2 (this is where I need some help) if I don't plan on over clocking will a single fan do the job on the heat sink? So I can leave off the side on the ram so it all fits. Now, the heat sink on a Havoc if you haven't seen it is @%#*ing enormous, which makes me THINK a single fan on it will do.
Why did I buy a cooler if I don't plan on over clocking? No idea, as I said this is my first time so i just bought stuff.
Why put the cooler on with 1 fan instead of just the standard single fan? Well....because I have it now so may as well use it (plus it looks sick)
Would love any help as I really don't wana burn up my CPU...
