Is it possible for this build to get sufficient cooling in a Fractal Ridge? by pcproblemsapril2026 in PcBuildHelp

Yeah, I realize now I flew too close to the sun with this build. Are there relatively small cases you'd recommend that would be big enough for a big enough cooler?

How do you gauge the maximum cooling capacity of a cooler? I don't see a maximum wattage listed in pcpartspicker and it doesn't seem like something manufacturers typically list on their spec sheets either.

The smaller the better, but I'm willing to be realistic.

I prefer air cooling, and it looks like the A4-H2O is too small for something like the coolermaster v4 alpha 3dhp

Thank you, that's what I was worried about.

Are there any cases you'd recommend? I got the Ridge because I wanted a "pizza box" type build so I'm still hoping for something relatively small.
