Anyone bought the tall version of these vengeance ram kits? how does the lp (low profile) compare to the regular (performance-wise). overheat more?

Both kits will perform exactly the same. (Assuming they are the same speed/type) The difference will be a few degrees of heat, but these will not get very hot at all. In fact they are usually slightly warm to the touch. Heat shouldn't be a problem unless you are seriously overclocking.The main reason this low profile version exists is for cases when the ram heatsinks don't fit next to a very large CPU heatsink normally found on (do it yourself) custom built PCsSo if you're just upgrading to bigger RAM just grab whichever version is cheaper, both will work perfectly with the same performance.

I've never had a problem with normal everyday use. I have these in 2 units, both slightly over locked.

Anybody know if you can use DDR3 RAM 1066 MHz; like they use on the all the other UL series (UL30, UL80 with the SU7300) with the same processors. It would be faster and use less power.

Read my review you will find I went with EK Supreme Elite block, used MK4 compound. TIM is hard to apply. (can arrange to sell you mine new for cheap, email me) radiator I'd go no less than 360mm 120mmx3. XSPC if you wanna save money else I'd choose Alpha. Fans need to have good force corsair AF120 is on deal works quiet and good. I just used distilled water to fill it. This set up should cover 80-90c 100% cpu run and 30-50c normal. Yes I overclocked mine to 4.8GHz hope this helps and have fun

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

Eager to know if works! I too am thinking of expanding. If it does work, please share the Ram manufacturer and specs. Thanks.

The heat sinks are not much bigger than the ram itself.On every installation of these I have made, the heat sink does not overlap the socket and does not add much to the height.

Yes, I have Corsair's Dominator which is a bit bigger than the Vengeance and it fits perfectly. Except it can kind of be a little hard to install the V8 cpu cooler.

Well, I can't guarantee they are all the same height, but I just pulled one off a bad motherboard in the last couple of weeks. I measured it at slightly less than 2 inches high. Did some investigation and found someone else posted the height of theirs at 50 mm. Did a conversion and that is 1.97 inches high...which I would assume is the same height as mine. Specifically, they wrote: 50 h (including fan) x 90 l x 90 w mm, and weighs 267 g. Like I said, always a chance one is different, but I have a bunch of socket 775 chips and I think all the stock fans were around the same height.

Corsair vengence LP, and Pro are fine. Unfortunately the regular vengeance stuff is a little too tall.

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 had the same issue, as well as it size being way off. I ended up just going with a Ram mount. They cost more but are worth it in the long run.

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!

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.

Hello my friend! Sorry for my english, i don't speack very well, this air flow not work whit this memories, with red dominator ram work perfectly. Many dude whrite me.

damn, i'd like to know this too. specifically, which one runs quieter and cooler? and furthermore, which one is more reliable?

I have an Asrock micro ATX board with a Hyper 212 EVO, and no, the fan will not fit over the last RAM slot closest to the CPU because of the extra height added by the RAM's heat sink fins. A plain ram stick without the fins would fit. However, if you don't slide the fan down all the way but stop about a half inch above the bottom, the Ripjaw will fit underneath. I've monitored CPU temps with this arrangement and so far the cooler works just fine even though the fan is 1/2" displaced, so I'm satisfied.

Yes, I upgraded mine with Corsair's Vengeance 8GB kit. The drawback is that your original is to be taken out. You can however get just one 4GB stick and upgrade it, but it is always better to have a matching RAM.
