Will it fit...

So, the question is will a Be Quiet Shadow Rock

2 fit it my case and well on my motherboard.

I have a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX, Gigabyte b85n-Phoenix and Geil Black Dragon RAM (2x4G). I'm mainly concerned about having enough clearance for the RAM as I know the case will support it...

Would the heat pipes interfere with the left RAM module?

Thanks, not sure if the only way to find out is through just buying it and seeing.

Since you have low profile RAM you should be fine judging from how the cooler looks installed with low profile RAM: http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_8595.jpg (Assuming that you are talking about Shadow Rock PRO)

 

EDIT: @LoneRangerS That was a picture for the Shadow Rock PRO, my bad. This is what a Shadow Rock 2 would look like: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/beQuiet/Shadow_Rock_2/4.html

Looks like a tight fit considering they're not using the first RAM slot... Still think it would fit?

Could I mount it so the heat pipes stretch to the top and bottom, rather than left and right and have the fan on top? If that makes any sense...

I'm assuming they installed RAM like they did to make sure there will be clearance and because of how their motherboard manual told them to have it in those slots if all of them are not populated.

EDIT2: @LoneRangerS As for having it facing the other way, it looks like you can but the Be Quiet! logo will be sideways: http://www.cowcotland.com/images/test/bequiet/shadowrock2/be_quiet_Shadow_Rock_2_Install_2.jpg

Nevermind that's just the fan being installed on the other side.

i hear girls ask this all the time.

 

and like i tell them:

it'll fit.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.
