Will the cooler master geminII M4 block ram slots? 120mmx120mmx15mm fan, 120mmx118mmx44mm heatsink, thanks!

Due to the clearance height, the heatsink does prevent tall RAM sticks (e.g. Crucial Ballistix Sport XT) from being used in the RAM slot closest to the APU socket. The same issue may also occur for the second RAM slot, though this had not been verified.

Oh, and do a push pull configuration with that hearsink and youll never have issues. I also recommend arctic silver thermal paste(one fan pushing over the heatsink, and one fan pulling and exhausting. Both fans will blow the same way)

buy LP (Low-Profile: Meaning shorter) version of the ram and probably none. I have one of the biggest / best fan coolers (NH-D14) and with my low profile corsair vengeance ram the cooler hangs perfectly over the ram with no problems. But if you want an exact answer...you should probably go onto the MOBO's website and look at what ram works with what coolers? This is the internet, google can find you just about anything.

You need a lot of space between memory slots and CPU - the fan with frame is too big - did not work for me. Maybe will work for you but measure all spaces on mother board from CPU to Memory slots and compare with fan detentions before you buy. Good Luck. Tom

I have that same cooler and it was able to fit. You might have to get RAM with low clearance because it was pretty tight.

It fit on mine, but it did block a memory slot. You can remove that fan though, and then no problem. I also had to do a small amount of grinding on the bracket that connects to the motherboard to clear heat sinks on the board. It's an Asus ROG board for the AMD chip, crosshair v formula z.

Just to amend my answer, mounting the heat sink horizontally could also be a problem as the fan could block the PCI and PCI Express slots and the power connectors on the motherboard. So, do the measurements first.

I have the Noctua NH-D14 in mine. I had to remove the side fan but it fit with no problems. I had a tiny bit of room to spare, but the NH-D15 is just a bit larger so I can't be sure it will fit.

Boy, there are a lot of variables there!!! I'm on a MSI motherboard with liquid cooling and have no problems. The RAM isn't all that tall. I am making a guess but it should work...that is a very popular cooler.

I'm using a "Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 - Sleeve Bearing 200mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases" without any modifications to the case itself. Fits like a glove with the screw slots on the case. Hope this helps. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103073

Retail Package has an included fan and heatsink: but it's going to be LOUD. I suggest a Liquid Cooling Assembly like the Antec H2O 620. I have found it fits nicely on both sockets 775 and 1155.

I had to BEND the ram heatsinks slightly for this Gen 2 Coolermaster V8. The Gen 1 fits without bending the heatsinks. This one is also more difficult to screw down. Get a sealed water unit and save yourself the aggravation.

I don't think so the fins for this RAM are too tall for the heatsink.Edit: Yeah I agree with the rest of them saying that it really does depend on the board, but your average ATX motherboard puts the RAM slots too close to the CPU slot making it difficult for the heatsink to fit over the RAM.

I have an Intel Z87 MB and my RAM cooler simply clips onto the lock tabs on the memory module slots. Bent slightly the arms of the cooler to make it hold a little tighter.

I actually did not order this cooler, I ordered the GeminII S524. However, in the case of that, its retail packaging doesn't indicate that it works with my socket, the AM3+, but the Cooler Master website indicates that it does work with AM3+, and indeed it does.

My memory has heatsinks on top. I am using CORSAIR DOMINATOR GT memory. With 4 slots on each side of my CPU, I was only able to use 2 on each side. I had to squeeze this thing in between the memory I did use. You can adjust the height of the fans if you need to. Good Luck!

with the kit that came with the cooler and from what info i can find about your socket it should fit. i have a x75 sabertooth motherboard running a mid corsair tower and it fits fine to the back fan mount. I hope this info helps you.
