When installed on an ATX motherboard with the fan facing the memory slots, does this cooler block the nearest memory slot?

I have mine with the fans facing up and down. from what I can see if i turned it so the fans were facing front and back it looks like it would indeed block the first ram slot.

I had no issue with colliding into the ram with the CPU cooler I installed (Cooler Master Hyper T4) but I did have to do some wiggling to get pas the heat sinks surrounding hte CPU.

I built two using a v3 and v4 Thermaltake Case. The closeness of the motherboard to the upper rear fan allows only for one forward fan. The cooler you are asking about requires plenty of clearance for both fans, so these being mid cases likely will not accept the cooler. Check out the Corsair 900d series gaming full tower or other full gaming towers.

Neither. The air does not flow in or out of the PCI case slot. The fan throws the air onto the PCI card next to it. In other words the air flows from the side shown in the picture to the opposite side keeping it all within the case.

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.

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

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

It does not have fan slots. It does contain a fan for the hard drive bay and the big fan over the board. It's open frame design lends itself to not needing more

I doubt there will be a problem. The clearance for the cooler is such that any memory will be under the cooler's cooling coils IMO.

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.

Yes & if you not an Overclocker it is just fine with stock heatsink and fan. Might want to consider purchasing a mounting plate, (I hate those plastic plugs) the clips provided are the weakest link in cooling processors if you don't have a fairly tight seal you heat up quick.

Cooler squeezes fine. Even with fan, that comes with mobo. There is a place enough to stick 2.5" drive.

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.

Yes you can put a 2 fans in the top if your motherboard allows for it. My RAM almost touches one of the fans and the other fan spot is blocked by my CPU heatsink. There is also a spot for a fan in the back that blows directly on to the CPU. As far as the front goes, I'm almost positive you can put one behind the front panel but I've never tried to do that.

You can always reorient the air coolers' positioning if ram becomes an issue, but I didn't have any issues on memory considering I used low profile heatsinks.

Hello Sir,The cooler is tall enough to clear most heat sinks on any motherboard. My EVGA X79 Classified has very tall heat sinks and this cooler easily clears them. The case size is always an issue with this cooler. Another issue is motherboard flex. My EVGA board is very sturdy and does not flex with this cooler. My Gigabyte board flexes with my Thermaltake SpinQ VT and causes boot loops. The install is not a problem as long as you install the heat sink portion on to the motherboard "without the fans attached" outside of the case. My install was simple because I researched how to best do it before I actually installed it. The same as you're doing now. I hope this helps.

Not sure. Is it a full size? I have a full size motherboard in it right now with a very wide and large cooler. It should work. I love the box because it had a lot of fans to cool it.
