I have

 

Asus SABERTOOTH Z77 ATX LGA1155

 

Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866

CMD16GX3M2A1866C9

 

Antec Nine Hundred ATX Mid Tower Case

 

evga 680 gtx classified

 

the nh d14 air cooler is out of the question bc of my tall memory so I'm wondering what options if any I have that would install smoothly from the corsair liquid coolers.

 

any advice as to what route to go would be helpful.

 

thanks

kyle

An H80i should work for your case and height restrictions, but if you get one, you'll also want to buy two 4-pin PWM-capable fans and a PWM Y-cable. Then connect the fans directly to the CPU fan connector on your motherboard and use the Asus fan controller software to drive them.

 

This results in a decent, but very expensive solution. (@$100 for the H80i plus another $30 or so for the Y-cable and two fans)

 

If you have other unused fan connectors on your motherboard, you can connect the pump RPM indicator to one of them for software monitoring.
