If you haven't gotten the RAM yet, just buy some of the LP ones and be done with it. So you won't have to worry about any cooler. Usually the vengeance doesn't fit with the dual fan air coolers.

Needs more v-core

Vengeance ram is too tall you could get something like gskill ripjaws.

Ripjaws are iffy--they barely fit.

Can't fit. Go for a LP sries. Just as good but lower heatspreader. No preformance hit at all.

There are Low Profile Versions of the Corsair Vengeance.

Other option would be the XMS3 from Corsair. They're avaiable in a 1600MHz flavor and I'm using them in my personal rig. Great RAM, all you could possibly want from RAM.

Thoughts on Corsair xms3 1600mhz? It's only £25/4gb stick which is pretty cheap.

 

As I said, all you really need. I'm using the 1333MHz flavour in my rig, and they're working perfectly after almost 3 years!

1 stick to furthest slot? Anyway lp or gskill ares to be sure. And why not get dual kit. It cheaper than buying one by one.

At £25/stick it's not. + I'm going to buy more RAM as I can afford it. I'm being really impatient, if I wait two weeks I can afford better quality parts but I'm like noo.. I must buy it now haha.

Needs more v-core

Cheap and great looking imo. Ignore the first photo with no heatsink--PNY tends to do that for some reason.
