I'm trying to figure out if the Peerless Assassin 140 White cooler will fit in my Lian Li O11 Vision Compact case. I also have a B850 motherboard. Any insights on compatibility would be appreciated!

Yes, it technically fits, but there are a few things to consider. The O11 Vision Compact allows coolers up to 167mm tall, and the Peerless Assassin 140 is 158mm. However, the height of your RAM matters. If your RAM is tall (like RGB types that can go up to 48mm), it may block the front fan on the cooler. Non-RGB RAM should fit without any issues. Also, check your motherboard’s PCIe slot positions; if the main x16 slot is at the very top, the cooler might block it. If you have an AMD CPU, though, you might want to look into the Phantom Spirit 120 cooler since it can be quieter and more effective.
Could I use the Thermalright AXP90-X53 White Low Profile cooler instead? I have a 9800X3D CPU and heard it stays pretty cool.
I have the Gigabyte B850 too! My RAM is Crucial DDR5 Pro Series, does that mean I need to get a different cooler?
