I just swapped my 3800+ for a FX-55 for free, overall spec in sig. Now I want to get 2GB of RAM and I'm looking at the Corsair TWINX2048-3500LLPRO DDR (2 X 1GB). The problem is it wont fit into my PC due to the Thermalright XP-120.
I'd use the other RAM slot that are free but they are very unstable (quirk with the type of mobo I have). So I decided I want to get a new cooler. I want to overclock so I want something better than the XP-120 but that won't block the RAM slots closest to the CPU. What heatsink you recommend or would I be better water cooling in which case what kit would I get? I don't want to spend more than $100 but if necessary could stretch to $120. I know there are water kits under $100 but I don't know what to get. I've never water cooled before so I hope you can point me in the right direction.
