Does this heatsink fit (width wise) in a 68 LX V ASUS mobo? The processor is really close to the RAM. Does this heatsink interfere with the RAM slots?

Depending on how close? get a computer/metric ruler out, Mine cleared my RAM (12gb) but the RAM cant the "fancy" type with heatsinks, just simple ddr2/3 RAM sticks, No extras to it. It does cut close in heighth clearance, but cools exceptionally well under stress testing for 12 hours using PK-1 Nano Thermal Compound. (WHICH I HIGHLY RECCOMEND.) I have been building and overclocking systems for 7 years roughly, I mainly work as a Network Security Admin, and Pen Testing. The best is preferrably a Thermaltake V2.0 Water cooling system, with a Thor V2 case. let me know if you need any more insight.

The heat sink is very wide, also somewhat noisy. I am actually thinking about replacing it.

No, I have a Mini-ATX motherboard with 4 RAM slots. I have 4x1gb in each and there is about a 1 inch cap for me. Unless you have memory that has something on it, etc Corsair Memory, GSkill. You should be fine. I looked up the motherboard and it looks fine. Before I got the fan I was worried that this would happen. After I got the fan I was suprised that there was that big of a cap. You could also turn the heatpipes into a vertical state. So you shoudld be go to go!

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.

Yes it should fit, the NZXT H440 claims it has a clearance for a CPU heatsink of 180mm, this Phantek cooler is 160mm, so you have a good 2cm there, so you should be good. Here are the dimensions of the cooler 134 x 140 x 160 mm. Also just so you know, with this heat sink you are going to need low profile ram.

Not sure--but I wouldn't use any MoBo that wasn't specifically listed on their site. It's not just big, the heat pipes themselves take up a lot of space that can run into things on your MoBo. That's the part I didn't take into account and it turned out that the heat pipes ran into my RAM. No way around it and had to return it.

Physically the part will fit in the alloted space. However, the problem is / may be whether the BIOS accepts this part. That, I do not know.

If you mount it carefully it won't block any ram slots. Mounting it facing up might block the closest one. Though

From the images of the OptiPlex GX620 that I have seen, I am not so sure it would fit. You need at least 4 and a half inches of clearance from your cpu to the side of your case for this heatsink to fit (I would make sure there is a little more than 4 and a half inches). I couldnt find any official dimensions of the GX620, but I am sure you can get some measuring tape, and see if you have the space. Good luck!

I have no idea. You need to open up your case and measure to see or call the manufacturer.it seems to fit most towers heatsinks unless you have a mini tower.

i'm using a Cooler Master Gemini II S524. it's only about 70mm tall. there is a significant amount of room above it, but i'm not sure if there is enough for your heatsink really. it would be close. one thing about my Cooler Master is that you can orient it so that it extends over the ram for additional cooling there. this is a great case and worth swapping cpu coolers, imho. MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 mb, AMD A8-6600K cpu, 16mb DDR3 Corsair XMS 1600 ram, HEC 585w psu.

I believe by atx standards it should fit just about any heatsink. That said, I am actually running that noctua-u12p but it's running fanless and only cooled by the power supply and the rear 120mm exhaust fan. It's been running like this 24/7 for almost a year now without any issues and it doesn't even get hot. That is however an ivybridge based processor (i7-3770).

Not sure how high the noctua sits off the cpu, but once the RAM is plugged into the socket, it only has less than an inch sticking out. So if the noctua can clear at least an inch from the the socket, it should fit.

Denpends on the motherboard and the way you mount the heatsink and fans.. if your going for 16GB ram that is. If is just 8gb it should work without much of a problem

I have a Gigabyte GA 970A-UD3P the ram is on one side and sits under the Noctua with about half inch of clearance. The only problem is if I need to remove the ram I'll also have to remove the fan in order to pull it out. Yes and be careful with the heatsink when removing it. I pulled the cpu out with it and it was still locked in and bent the pins. Luckily I was able to straiten them out and get it to work..hope this helps

Yeah, generally, micro-atx profile mobo's fit inside this fine. I have a similar mobo in mine.

It fits and works fine for me. Only thing that would be a concern is if you get a water-cooling heatsink for your CPU. I had a LGA1150 motherboard and the memory slot blocked one of my 2 fans and I had to install one of the fans on the outside (top) of case. Hope that helps.

I don't know, but on my board I had to saw (or Dremel) off the top parts of two heatsinks. Everything worked fine on the finished box. One tricky part, I wasn't careful enough aligning everything the first time. It's easy to have the processor stick (thermal paste) to the heatsink and come out of the socket or out of alignment with the socket.

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.
