Hello peoples,

I am looking for some advice regarding a CPU cooling solution for my new build, some will bemoan my choice of Motherboard but I have my own reasons for choosing it.

The basic parts of my build will be.
ASRock X99 Extreme 11.
6950X CPU.
CMK32GX4M4C3000C15 (4 x 8GB) DDR 4-3000 @ 32mm high, has an optional fan add on.

By the time I am finished the entire build will be around the $8K to $11K mark and for that reason I would like to avoid water cooling and would prefer a nice chunky Air cooler but am wanting one that I know will fit with my ram be it with or without the ram fans.

To that end is anyone running a similar build and what air cooler are you using?
