Not suitable for cooling an 8 core processor..

[BarryLlewellyn]

Hi all, this is probably like my 5th account since I keep on forgetting about my other accounts! >.<
Anyway, I'm building myself a few PCs for friends and family, and I was using this site as a reference, as I bought PCs from here before and I know how amazing they are! Anyway, I was wondering would I be able to fit Hyper-X Genisis Ram in there, while using an aftermarket cooler (titan universal cooler (The triple copper heatpipe option. The one air cooled one)). When I checked to see weather it was do-able, it said that the cooler was not suitable for cooling an 8 core cpu (FX8350). I tried it then with a H100i, and it said the same thing. Anyone else noticed this? I'm guessing its some sort of bug.. Also, does anyone know will I have enough room to fit my ram (with heatsinks) in there as well as an aftermarket cooler? I know from experience that its often very, very tight.. Thanks for checking out my post. Any help would be appreciated!
PS: I know, this probably isn't the right area to post this in, but there didn't seem to be any place better..

There's been a couple of comments around the forum saying similar things about the triple copper heatpipe not being compatible. Might be worth dropping PCS an email, they normally respond within 24 hours Does seem to be some kind of bug though.

The universal cooler should be fine with a modicum of overclocking (according to Overclockers anyway). If thats the case I'd say your case choice should be made with best airflow in mind. I can't comment on the compatibility however the dimensions look identical to my air cooler, and when deciding on the ram for my rig i went through a few configurations of samsung/kingston and nothing was flagged.

@Grimzey: Yea, I'll probably pm them about it, as it seems to be the case.. @Blackdog: Thanks, and yea, my new case is going to be a Z11 Plus. Just out of interest, what cooler do you have? I have a Titan cooler in my personal rig, and I haven't been 100% pleased with it myself, especially the fan (very noisy under load..)

I also have the titan cooler myself, and noise hasn't been too much for me, and my case isn't the quietest (Inwin dragon rider.) I only run a 3570 at stock speeds and it stays super cool as i'd expect.
