Ram clearance on air cooler is the reason I chose mine. The ram sticks in the black case are really tall and finding an air cooler that went over them and under the glass was a challenge. I didn't want to replace ram so instead chose a cooler that has no front fan at all. Instead, its got a rear fan that is too close to any rear case fans, and caused odd noises until I removed them

I think its dusty as its going grey... as is the glass near gpu

I might replace the rear 120mm fan next time with a spare Noctua I bought years ago. Not that I can hear it now.

There is a 140mm fan under the black section.

Too bad Deepcool are blocked for sale in USA.

Shame they don't make a white version of this

ASSASSIN IV VC VISION - DeepCool

DeepCool's flagship air cooler series gets a drastic addition in the form of the ASSASSIN IV VC VISION. The cooling capacity gets a nice bump with the inclusion of a vapor chamber at the base that pushes the TDP to 300W! The upgrades don't stop there, as a high-end quad-segmented digital display...

There are cheaper options but I didn't care, I like what it looks like.

The pill bottle works good, I promise!🤣

Closer inspection, my CPU cool just barely clears the RAM. I don’t think it’s an issue, it’s not very dusty under there at all and everything still works and stays cool.

my XFX stand would have lined up with a fan, so I had to get an alternative. My transparent stand is magnetic and sits on a ledge next to the fan - I should dust it.

I read its better to hold card up between fans 2 and 3 so that is why mine isn't at end of card. Probably not so bad on a 2 fan card.
