Hi, I use a Noctua NH-U12s with 2 NF-F12 fans for CPU cooling. Right next to it are 2 sticks of Kingston HyperX Predator, whose heat spreader is quite high. It s so high that it reaches like 1 cm over the CPU cooler fan Now I'm about to buy 2 more sticks of that memory and I was wondering how much does that ram affect the airflow in the PC. I haven't had any problems, it all works great. I was just wondering.
