    This would do about as great a job as any cooler on the market could do - literally among the best that money can buy

    What case are you using btw? :)

      Phantek Enthoo Primo. Plenty of room.

      Approx 40 on idle.
      60 - 70c on full load with 32 threads.
      There are 6 fans on the radiator in a push/pull configuration, but they are slow and silent.

  I am happy to say that it's a snug but posssible fit at the top of a Fractal Meshify 2 case, with room for 140mm front fans beside it!
  here's a picture of how I did it: https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/userbuil…

    Thanks for sharing this. How is the RAM clearance?
    My current setup (using this case) I had issues with it using an NZXT top mounted rad cooler and swapping out the fans for arctic fans.
    Its due to be replaced and the timing may be good with the 14700k released soon (mobo, cpu ram, aio). My AIO is getting a bit long in the tooth.
    Currently running an 11400f and a 6800XT gaming z trio, and I'm thinking the CPU is the bottleneck. From what I've been able to find out in leaks, single core would be double current performance, multicore triple the performance.

  Just a PSA for anyone who doesn't know, the RGB and non-RGB fans are not only visually different, but have different performance characteristics. If you read a review of the non-RGB models (which are more commonly reviewed), the cooling performance (and noise levels) on the RGB version are slightly worse.

    Most likely from different model of fans used in plain and RGB versions.

      The plastic they have to use on the RGB models is different. From what I understand, it is more difficult to manufacture translucent plastics with the same rigidity as opaque ones and the flexion in the fan blades means they cannot be built to as tight of tolerances and thus have worse characteristics. I am not an expert, I was just warning people who might think the RGB version is functionally exactly the same but with lighting.
