Memory Clearance

[hanna_massouh]

I have no clue if my memory can fit with my huge cooler. Heres my memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231757&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=, and heres my cpu cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA68V21E0640&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=. I want to know if the cooler has enough clearance to fit the ram. I dont want to move the fans up because I will lose performance.

It probably won't unless it has tall heatpipes. Looks up reviews and look how much clearance it has compared to usual RAM, then add like 4cm for the Ripjaw's height.

Here are the height specs for the RAM:

It is 40mm.

 

Here is the heatsink dimensions:

On one of the  pictures you could see that the gap between be fan and the board is less than 40mm.

 

So, it shouldn't fit.
