what is the ram clearance with this and the Z87-G45 mobo?

There would be enough space if you use low profile DDR memory cards. However, this is the best CPU Cooler I ever had and still silent after 10 month of use.

I've got the MSI G45, even with the gskill ram fins, I have enough clearance. Just install ram before cooler.

I have had no problems with that. I am not sure about the Z87-G45. I have a different board. I can tell you though that these are probably the most efficient heat sinks I have seen. I don't even have a need for liquid cooling and I have two 8 cores running at 2.6 GHZ. (x2 AMD Opteron 6212 2.6 GHZ) You should have no problem with the RAM Clearance as long as you are using a server board or decent size motherboard. I am also using low profile Ballistix Sport RAM...

I used low-profile RAM, so there were no issues on that front. Also, the only bits that extend past the mounting holes on the mobo are the fans - if you're really worried about it, you can always leave one of them off.

Kenneth if you go to your Mobo's website they should be able to provide a list of compatible RAM modules. 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum works for me.I have an Asus P8Z68 Deluxe, Core i7 2600k, Zotac Nvidia GTX 670 GPU, Fatality 1 1000w PSU, Antec 80 CPU cooling, Sound Blaster ZX, Cooler Master HAF full tower. Go Big or Go Home. Good Luck

Try finding the item on newegg.com. they have good detailed specs for most items. I have this in a mid tower and have no problems with clearance.

Hello- I use "Corsair Vengeance 64GB (8x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ64GX3M8A1600C9) by Corsair" also I am using a RamDisk and FancyCache to make my extremely excess RAM even more productive by super-speeding memory access to all of my programs. You won't regret these products, I have no issues at all!

depends on the MOBO, what is the MODEL #, your board may only support 1GB RAM sticks in each slot. verify with the manual, and definitely make sure you are on the current BIOS version for the board.you need more details to be sure.....

Yes, I'm using 16GB (2x8GB) 1866Mhz Corsair Vengeance memory modules on this machine, included are a couple of modules with 2GB/4GB. I would recommend pulling those out completely and get a new matched pair.

I have corsair ram there is plenty of room. if it matched the chipset there should be no problem. If you have a large fan on your side cover it will touch the fan the unit is tall.

Yes, it is. The Motherboard Gigabyte GA-8I945GZME-RH use DDR2 533 memory up to 4GB. See http://es.gigabyte.com/products/page/mb/ga-8i945gzme-rh/specs/. Now, be careful I bought the Kit and 60 days later one of these stopped working and by Amazon and/or Provider policy I could not change it, despite its guarantee of by life.

I don't have vengeance RAM but I can tell you that, on my x58 mobo, this doesn't overhang the RAM at all so it wouldn't matter.

It has 4 slots so you should be good. I'm running 2x4gb of 1866. It runs at 1600 but I'm told I can change that in the bios easily.

That depends entirely on your motherboard. It's a fantastic case, but you need to make sure that the power supply will fit properly. I haven't tried myself, but my guess is not so much. Still, it's worth busting out the tape-measure.

Yes, I have a similarly sized Maximus Formula mobo. The only issue I ran into was the small wifi card that came with the mobo didn't fit unless I took off the tiny metal shield.

Kip answered already, also, be sure to get lots of RAM and a couple of top notch NVIDIA video cards for SLI (Scalable Link Interface)- then it's a gaming MoBo :-)I maxed mine out with 64 G of RAM

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.

Oh, I like that case. It's more the size I was looking for, too. Thanks for the tip! I'll be curious to find out if this mobo does fit in it OK, too -- it looks pretty tight and the wifi antenna on these boards isn't necessarily in a good position.

Plz check this case's Specifications.M/B Type include Micro-ATX and ATX. So, i think Z87-PLUS will be ok

I have a set of 8GB (totaling 16GB) Corsair Vengeance LP clocked at 1600mh/z and it works fine for me, you can even change the mh/z on the mobo bios which has tons to choose from.
