Rackmount computer cooling (quiet)

I am building a Rackmount server out of an old computer and I realized that the previous cooler will not fit in the new case (it was a closed loop water cooler with a 120mm fan). I need to purchase a small air cooler to fit in this computer. It doesn't have to be fancy, there will be no overclocking. This computer will be powered on 24/7, and will be in a room that volume needs to be kept to a minimum. Budget is not an issue.

 

CPU: i5 3570k (TDP 77W, Ivy bridge, LGA1155)

Case: iStar D Storem D-400-7p 4U (look inside the case, there is a metal bar that runs across)

MoBo: Asus P8Z77-V

Do you think that either of these would pose any ram clearance issues?

The Shuriken might overhang the first ram slot which shouldn't be an issue with any standard height sticks and the SRLP shouldn't have any clearance issues at all.
