Does anyone know if this cooler will clear corsair vengeance RAM?

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

Go to the Noctua website (www.noctua.at) and drill the data for this model. It will give dimensions and for some models the clearance ability. You have several arrangements that will give you various clearances. If you leave the lower fan off the clearance is huge. Since you haven't given the dimension height of the DRAM model I can't answer the question.

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?)

Not an exact answer, but I'm running Kingston Hyper X Red which has Large aluminum Heat-sinks. No worries

I had this on my i5-4690k running at stock speeds and it was hitting mid 60s under max load. Unless you are trying to make an ITX build I would highly recommend you just stick with liquid cooling.

Yes, you can, but it will void your warranty for sure. Here is a URL;https://www.google.com/#q=remove+heatsink+on+corsair+vengeance

No the stock heatsink already runs too hard. I bought the Corsair Air Series A50 but I had to modify that heatsink because my ram wasn't low profile in order for it to fit. Works great

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!

I got this package and it works fine. Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10)

I appreciate all the responses people.I've corresponded with Corsair customer service and they assured me that these memory chips will work with the aforementioned board.They even said that the higher density sticks (32 GB) will work as well.I hope they're right.

Yes they will but make sure you install the MEMORY 1st. The first two DIMM Slots are covered up pretty tight after you install this cooler. The Cooler Master V8 is a great CPU cooler and your mboard is great. Corsair Dominator Platinum is shorter than my Corsair Blue and I'm not saying you can't remove them, just that they are tight because the fan is a beast!! Good Luck

yes.the stock cooler is not enough for the job. and the CPU wull shut down due to over heating.better to get an after market cooler

Perhaps it will but if the RAM has large heat spreaders then you likely do no need this cooler

You can position the cooler in four different directions. If you have to put it over the ram then you should get lower profile ram like Kingston Hyper X. That's what I had to do. If you're running a gaming rig you really don't need more than 8/16 Gb of ram anyway. Also, try putting your ram in the last two sockets if that's the way it's set up. Good Luck and I hope this helps

This really dependent on the motherboard and its Dimm slot location relative to the CPU. I have an Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard and the closest Dimm module touches the cooler but will work there. Better to get memory with standard heat sink risers.

I bought the Corsair Vengeance Blue standard profile 8GB two stick kit and it works fine even after pushing the speed up. I'm using the stock Intel cooler in a case with lots of room, so had no reason to get the low profile version. My first Gigabyte board had a bad memory channel (only the two slots furthest from the CPU worked), but Amazon replaced it quickly.

I have mine installed over my Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB DDR3 2400MHz - it fits with room to spare. Love it.

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

I think that it will work for dual or quad channel memory, so 'yes' I think so. Bur suggest you check with Corsair on this to be sure before you buy. Ted

P.S. If you are running liquid cooling you can do away with the fancy heat sink on the RAM sticks and use liquid cooling accessories for them.
