will the fan block the slot for the g.skill ripjaw ram?

If your computer chassis has a ventilation on top, you can mount the heat sink horizontally without any problem. On the other hand, if you have to mount it vertically, most likely there won't be any clearance between the fan and the first 1 or 2 "Ripjaws". As a solution, you have three options. (1) use just one fan, or (2) adjust the height of the fan from the heatsink or (3) replace one or two Ripjaws with matching low profile RAM modules. Good luck!

Probably yes, I'm using one fan because the other one won't allow install the ram in the first slot for 1 or 2 mm, I'm using gigabyte motherboard.

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.

Depends on your motherboard. Vertically, the heatsink is lower than the ram, but horizontally, it doesn't extend to where it would touch the ram. The other cool thing is that the fans will passively cool you're ram if you don't use low profile modules. Hope that helps.

You can play with the distance you put between the cooler and the ram modules. I'm sure it will fit

rig it lol. I have one rigged to the front at the bottom, I bent the metal corners of the black metal screen to hold it.No actual fan slot afaik.I would do intake from the bottom, just use something to screen dust.

I have it installed on my board. Quick and easy procedure. No problems at all. I have the G.SKILL F3-14900CL8Q-16GBZM set installed with the front fan sitting just above the ram.Copy and paste: http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=4797797&postcount;=723

I could not say, I removed the fans for other use do to the size, if you have space between the Memory Slots and the 1st PCIe Slot then yes.I have only 1/4 inch on my MB and felt it was to close to back on my Video Card.

Suggested Ripjaws above did NOT work on mine. Tried 4 different types of 8gb (Corsair 1333 and 1066; Gskill 1066; Atech) NONE worked, 1066 nor 1333 variants. Returning MB as a result.

It clamps onto the CPU like any other fan, so I would imagine if the footprint of your CPU is the same that it would fit. Have you thought about comparing the Intel chip sizes with the AMD sizes?

Im using zalman cnps9900max-b and they dont touch the kingston hyperx beast ram. If the fins of the rams are tall then they may interfere with an oversized cpu cooler.

I think that it fits but in the parto of the ram leave free the fan, just pu it in one size and in middle. in should fit.

Yes it will. Noctua's answer for this is to remove the bottom fan to clear extended RAM cooling fins. I would assume you could set the remaining fan to highest RPM setting by not using one of the limiting extension cables. (have you considered water cooling options?)

Yes it will work just fine. there is plenty of room, The only consern is the brand of a higher performance processor cooler,you use. I had that problem and wen't with low profile memory. If you don't have a problem with a processor cooler. Then the size your memory modules you have will work just fine with the kingston memory cooling fan. I love mine. It keeps my memory nice and cool. Pitbullman

I do not have that unit to verify, but I would not hesitate to buy that heatsink fan combo to use in this case as there is a lot of space available for it. After looking at my computer in this case, and pictures of the heatsink fan combo you mentioned...it looks like I would bet yes.

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!

Ripjaws doesn´t work in this board, 775 boards wichever brand have problem with 4GB Ram, they don´t work with any RAM.

It worked with my G.SKILL Ripjaws Z RAM, so it should work with your X RAM - just don't expect to fit a RAM cooler on there.

No unfortunately I tried to install the ram on a similar model and it did not fit in the ram space so I recommend that you just find a different kind its not worth the trouble

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.
