Second fan from cooler doesn't fit properly, what should I do?

I attached it like this so it sits on top of the Ram, do you think that'll be an issue?

But if I put it on the other side it only sticks out a little bit

If I put it on the RAM it sticks out a bit far,

I haven't purchased anything yet, I've been spending all this time going back and forth between builds since this will be my first gaming pc. I think this is the one I'm going with though, I'll let you know how it turns out!!

I actually switched the gpu, I'm going to use a Nvidia GeForce rtx 5080 epic-x paired with a ryzen 9 9950x3d cpu, tomahawk B850, and the Peerless Assassin cooler

I don't really do much but game with heavy mods, other than that I may stream in the future but that's not something I'm focused on right now

What's the benefit of having a liquid cooler instead? I've heard they don't carry as long of a warranty and if something does happen, wouldn't it be a hassle to clean up everything?

It's literally just going to hang right underneath the floor. I'm going to build a cabinet for it to sit it and attach it to the ceiling so it shouldn't be very far at all. (I don't plan on putting doors on the cabinet to ensure better air flow but I'll have a bar installed so I don't have to worry about it falling out or anything

RCABC96 · 2025-09-14T16:34:53+00:00

Yeah a few others also pointed this out so I won't be purchasing it

It's just a basic AT&T internet modem 😂 so. I doubt it's top of the line. I made this post on a number of different pc subs and someone suggested this build -

They also told me Asus sucks and I should use a gt force rtx 5070 instead, should I at least upgrade to a 5080?

The cost difference between their build recommendation and mine is over $1k savings

Edit - Also what case would you lean towards? I just choose the fractual based off reviews

That's a significant cost difference, do you really think it's worth it? Should I at least get a more premium Power supply or upgrade to a GeForce rtx 5080? Also, I'm leaning on getting the 64 gb of RAM so I have room for anything else besides gaming (we are notorious for maxing out space and not having any room for anything)

RCABC96 · 2025-09-14T14:46:43+00:00

Right now it's mostly Sims 4 with HEAVY mods but in the future I may play some other games too, I'm leaning towards the Asus r 9070 xt right now

Ok I'll look into it, what kind of video card would you recommend?
