i think i prefer a air cooler for my cpu, looking at the thermalright pretor 130 or the thermalright royal knight which helps with the ram clearance, has anything got any experience of either

I’ve tried Thermalright coolers before, they’re solid for the price.
The Royal Knight is a bit taller but gives you better ram clearance. The Pretor 130 is more compact, fine if you don’t plan on heavy overclocking.

If your case has the space, I’d go with the Royal Knight for easier ram compatibility and slightly better thermals. If space is tight, the Pretor 130 will still do the job.

thanks for the reply, i can get :
Thermalright Royal Knight £25.59
Thermalright Royal Pretor 130 £37.52
i think i might just get which ever is cheaper at the time, probably the royal knight.
