Low profile ram

Go to solution Solved by Jamdude,

Haha shit, need to have my eyes checked :P. Any other recommendations other than the Ares?

Haha, I've had a look and aren't really up to date with low profile RAM.  Only ones that come to mind are Corsair's low profile sticks which are hard to come by at a good price, and Kingston Fury RAM but they're CL10.

I'm looking for good looking low profile ram that is completely compatible with the Noctua NH-D15. So <= 32mm height so that I can have them in the RAM slots closest to the cooler in dual-fan mode without having to put the outside fan higher up on the heatsink. I checked the compatibility list on Noctua's site but the list is for motherboard compatibility not ram compatibility. Motherboard is Asus LGA1150.

 

Wanted specs:

2 x 8GB  16GB Kit

1866Mhz

CL 9-9-9-24 or any other CL 9

 

I have my eye on this ram http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-1600c9d-16gsr but I couldn't find the height anywhere. Plus I think the heatsinks are kind of stupid I'd much rather have a more serious sleek look.

 

Thanks for the help.

Bert & Ernie before squirting spermie.

I saw the Ares but I don't like the colors it comes in.

 

Does it matter? It'll be under the cooler anyway.

 

Besides Corsair there are Kingstons Fury, as said, and Genesis (basicly same as older HyperX Blu series). Crucial also has big selection http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/memory-ballistix

Damn the fury's are sexy AF. I know the performance difference between CL9 and CL10 is marginal but the perfectionist inside me might have a problem with it. Thanks!

No problem, I'll post again if I come across any more nice sticks.
