I have a freezer 36 fits my asrock z690 pg riptide with 100% not ram and fan issue

But not the famous thermalright peerless assassin 120 se do to high ram and even low profile ram is not 100% optimal

Memory is ripjaws v

Rear fan is not usable do to heatsink, 1 fan is no option

I wanna set pl 1 and 2 limits + icc max to what makes my cpu run without edp other limits at 100%

When stress testing i get thermal limits when i set the limit to 90c, i wanna avoid that

I wanna have an aircooler since i hate noise from a aio pump, freezer II-III aio pump speed is not adjustable unless you disable it to find the cable to put on the pump header and fans on the fan header instead of only one cable

I have a z motherboard + a k cpu i don't want to be edp limited and thermal limited, avx is lowered so i don't run at max speed other than that my cpu is not oced but a k cpu so i can make adjustments to things limted to a no k cpu and to only having a b motherboard.

Cpu 13600kf

Scythe Mugen 6 (Black/White RGB Edition) would be alternative worth considering. It should have zero RAM or rear fan interference. Single 30mm fan is actually a great option.

Mugen 6 has average cooling until you start pushing watts. From that point on if your fan curve is optimized the dense fin stack can handle 14900K.

PA140 test is probably better to link in order to see how a double tower 140mm cooler compares to the single tower 120mm Mugen 6

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140 is to big i can't use the 120 version do to the front fans has to be raised even with low profile memory and the fastes i have is not low profile

Might not be that much but i don't wanna change my ram and even when the fan is only a half to 1 cm or more (with low profile ram) i want max performance

scythe coolers are hard to get (europe) it's like theres no model stock and the mugen 6

Wasn't suggesting any version of already disqualified PA. Was suggesting it as a comparison to something equally off the table it appears.

In any case that test covers most of the mass market air coolers with EU availability.

okay

I couldn't ressist it, super days at proshop Artic freezer III 280 for 50 euros

corsair 5000d airflow tg where to mount the cooler in the top or in the side.

In the side, hose at the bottom if it's long enough ?
