will this block a ram card if im using corsair vengeance? (the ones with the heat spreaders)

It will depend on your motherboard. I suggest looking on the Noctua website where they have a lot of compatibility information.

You can adjust the fan position. Install the ram fast and attach the fan and adjust the fan psition so does not touch the ram

If it's the RAM with the high profile heat spreaders there will not be many aftermarket heatsinks that will fit. The Corsair Hydro series, or any closed loop system, should work though. If you haven't purchased the RAM yet I would suggest changing it to the low profile Corsair Vengeance.

See Mfgr website at http://www.crucial.com/store/listmodule/DDR2/list.html. That should tell you everything about it.

Hey Brad, I recently upgraded my RAM using this stick http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EOUFEG2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ... Worked perfect for me. Haven't experienced any compatibility issues!

It goes over the 240 dimm bracket on the MoBo, it will for any memory. I had the same question.

Yes, that's what I currently have installed. It depends on the number of sticks of ram you're using and how tall the heat spreaders in the ram is. I'm using 4 sticks of g skill ripsaws x and it fits but I had to move the fan up a little bit to fit the ram underneath it.

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.

Yeah it will work, but I suggest getting Corsair platinum, I have the blue vengeance and it works VERY well, but the platinum would fit better with most color schemes, not to mention if you get 4x2 platinum it would be KILLER FAST for your motherboard. less ram memory the faster, but dont go any less than 8 gigs!

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?)

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.

Yes. All you need to do is disconnect the cable module in the back of the unit. Next, remove the unit from the RAM mount and you are done!

i would recommend you go to Corsair and Gigabytes website to check out either if your motherboards accommodates the memory sticks. Good luck!

Any computer with a motherboard that has a DDR3 SDRAM slot should work fine with this set of RAM. Corsair's website confirms this further.

I am currently running 4 8gb corsair vengeance 1866mhz with no problems. there could be several problems: 1. how many sticks of 1600 do you have? Check the instructions for putting in only 2 sticks. They do not go next to each other, they go in either dimm 1 and dimm 3 2. Check with only one stick. That way you can easily check which stick does not work. 3. Take the ram to get tested. If its bad, return it or get new ram. Are you hitting the button on the mobo that says ramchk? does the red mem led stay on? Last resort is always send the mobo back for a replacement.

IT does cover 4 sticks of rams, I have it is rally good, the only down side part of this is that interfere with my water cooler r80 cooler master!!!

I seriously doubt it. This is server RAM, not desktop or laptop. EDIT: Just looked it up, no. It wouldn't even fit the slot.
