Hey forum,

       Does anyone know if the dark rock 2 will fit with the Kingston T1 Black series ram? It has a very tall heatsink so I am worried about that. Thanks.

Now imagine that memory is twice as tall. There's your problem.

Could I just mount the fan on the other side?

yes u can, but put the front face of the fan against the heatsink it will blow the air the same direction as the pic above

So to recap, the Kingston ram will fit with the correct orientation. Correct?

yes, the RAM will fit in the correct orientation.

I put my heatsinks in pull anyways. negligible performance loss, easier to clean, ram clearance. just my opinion though.
