Dear members,

I'm using maximus VI Formula with i7 4770. RAM is 32GB Kit from Corsair Dominator Platinum with their beautiful aluminium heat sinks/spreaders. I'm looking for air cooler which can fit in my system without having me remove aluminium spreaders/sinks and is quiet in operations. If possible maintain my system's red color scheme (though RAM Kit does not match it but it is worth of the sacrifice).

GPU is GTX 660

I've checked Noctua, Thermaltake, Cooler Master etc but none of the checked models seem to come fit in my criteria. Anyone using such cooler as I require may pl send me link.

Yeah, the evo is a solid choice, and to maintain your color scheme, I would get one of those sp120mm from Corsair..

Think about the H100i .. although it has a white corsair light [arrrgh!!!] it allows the
clearance you desire and is generally better than Any air cooler.

@chrsplmr - I read that, through the included software, you can change the color of the light on the H100i?

Either way, I agree - water is the way to go for cool and quiet.

According to the manufacturer compatibility guide, the Noctua NH-D14 should fit if you'd be willing to sacrifice the top fins on your memory heat sinks. I understand you don't want to do that, but with a lot of those big air coolers, you're not going to see the RAM anyway.

Additionally, while I don't work for them, I am a staunch proponent for Noctua's products; so, I must admit a little bias. Everything they make just looks so clean, and performs to boot.

@chrsplmr You need to install Corsair Link, (The USB header cable) and download the software. Once downloaded you can configure the LED.

done and done. It doesn't work that way. There are set ups for the led alerts but not to change and leave it say RED.
Unless someone knows how to ... I haven't figured it out yet. It still laughs at me with its white face. .c.

I'll do a little more research, and I admit I lay be confusing it with another kit (my only experience to date is with custom loops, and that not much).

You might be thinking of the H105.
