I see your point...now i have unearthed something

Here u can find that the height of both Corsair XMS3 and GSkill Ripjaws is ~41mm.

Also from here the height of Ripjaws X is ~40mm

From here the height of Corsair Vengeance modules comes to ~50mm

I have also decided to go for the CM Hyper N620 as it will be sufficient for my needs...no need to get the U12PSE2 shipped and all...
However the clearance (from here) of the N620 appears to be ~40mm...

Will it cause any problems????...


In my case, the N620, with the fans facing towards RAM and rear fan respectively, I can actually use any RAM regardless of their height because the cooler completely stays clear of the RAM slots. Love it!!!

I'm more inclined towards V6GT/UP12, but that's good to hear.

Moreover, N620 has a single fan connector which straightway goes to the CPU fan header. And the icing on the cake, BLUE LEDS!!! :razz:

@mukherjee: I think snaps are not needed anymore, you have gathered enough proof for it.

OK buddy, here you go:-

As you can see, there's huge gap between the cooler & RAM. Get Ripjaws X now.

Thanks...

That means I can go for either of Vengeance or Ripjaws X....but since Vengeance gives better OCbility...I just might choose those... :)

@mukherjee, N620 it is, and don't get ripjaws unless you can get them from tirupati with warranty, corsair rams have lifetime warranty, get the vengeance modules.

@skud, thanks for pics, your mobo is an exceptional case, although N620 keeps clear of rams in most mobos, your clearence is a bit too much, now the important question, what is your idle and load temps for stock and oc?

I'm gonna do the same, although I am a bit more interested in noctua U12P but first i need some measurements, when I buy my Z68 I'm gonna check it out in the shop, so I'll take some measurements and gonna buy the N620 if noctua has clearance issues, also there is one more cooler i want to check out, its the v6gt, damn choices.

You are welcome, mate. Yeah, I know the clearance in my mobo is more than standard. Temps are good, I think: Idle at 38-39 C and load 47-48 C. When OCed to 3.6Ghz load temps are 52-53 C.

Here's the link I have posted earlier:-

Temperature readings when OCed to 3.6 GHz are here:-
