Will this work in a Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow case? 2x8 GB Ripjaw Ram. Will the size of the cooler be too big for the ram?

The mobo will matter most... it's a VERY large cpu cooling system, but the fans can be removed, flipped to other sides, and can be lifted/lowered depending on your needs on the heat sinks. I personally had to lift the front fan upwards (towards the side of the case) to fit my gskill ripjaw, but only by 1-2 heatsink notches... if your mobo has the ram farther away from the CPU then it might not matter! yes you will want a fatty case.. with a level 10 case it will probably fit

I think that it fits but in the parto of the ram leave free the fan, just pu it in one size and in middle. in should fit.

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.

No, as long as you make sure your socket type is listed in the description, you won't have any issues. Also, when you get it, and before you put thermal paste on, make sure you do a mock-up with your ram in place to make sure it doesn't hit, I had to get low-profile ram after getting this cooler.

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.

If it is compatible with LGA 1150, of course. Cooler compatibility is a function of the case, not the motherboard. (And the RAM, but that is again not the MB).

Yes It will Fit , however if you want to push your cpu to Higher than the stock 3.9 this may not cool your cpu enough , but otherwise this is a great cooler and will work great at stock speeds

i think this fit, but no buy the ARCTIC Alpine 64 Pro Rev. 2 with a 92mm fan cooler version!!!. that version i am refering to, it fits but, also take you off a ram slot.i think that this artic alphne 64 gt with 80mm you are refering to will fit good.

I had 2 eight gig crucial ballistix sports installed before the cooler. And I installed it horizontally with plenty of space between the ram and the cooler. I am using a gigabyte ud4h motherboard too, if that helps.

Yes. I personally have that exact cpu cooler in my rig. Not much room between the top and the side panel (about a mm or 2). But it fits.

although it will probably take the 8 gb of RAM.. I don't think this is a mobo for a micro case...my Coolermaster is a full ATX and it just made it.

I do not know the dimensions of this Silverstone case so I don't know whether this huge heat sink will fit into this case or not. I can tell you a bit about my set up so that you can make your decision. I use the Aerocool DS (Dead Silence) case. My mATX MB is GA-Z87MX-D3H with I7 CPU and 16 GB of RAM. The heat sink lean over the 1st graphic slot so you can not use this slot. I use only a 140mm fan mounted on top of the case to draw the heat up and out of the case. The fan of my Corsair AX760i power supply never spins since my computing load is light (no games). So far I am very impressed with performance of this heat sink; it makes my computer truly Dead Silence.

Definitely. I have a Noctua U14 in mine and there is still a bit of head room. The only thing you are going to want to check is if your cooler will cover your memory slots.

Depending on how close? get a computer/metric ruler out, Mine cleared my RAM (12gb) but the RAM cant the "fancy" type with heatsinks, just simple ddr2/3 RAM sticks, No extras to it. It does cut close in heighth clearance, but cools exceptionally well under stress testing for 12 hours using PK-1 Nano Thermal Compound. (WHICH I HIGHLY RECCOMEND.) I have been building and overclocking systems for 7 years roughly, I mainly work as a Network Security Admin, and Pen Testing. The best is preferrably a Thermaltake V2.0 Water cooling system, with a Thor V2 case. let me know if you need any more insight.

Wait, this MB won't be compatible with RipJaws and a Hyper 212? If so, I'm screwed. I guess I report back later if I couldn't fit the ram and the fan ... :(.

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.

As long as the mem sticks are'nt tall with heat sink fins it will work. Can be an issue if aftermarket CPU cooler has two fans.

I own this Zalman cooler and I'm using it in a Silverstone ML05 mini itx case belive it or not. I had to remove the top multi-bracket from that case because it was a tiny bit too tall but that is such a small case to begin with that if and it fits in there it then will fit just about everywhere else. This newer version of Zalman cooler even has side grooves to accommodate ram with basic heatsinks on them. None of the fancy inch high RAM heatsinks though like corsair dominator or anything like that. The coolers only overhangs into the first RAM slot. Its pretty amazing how big it is yet able to fit nicely even in a super low profile case like the ML05. I swapped my Zalman fan out for an earlier model Zalman cooler fan so I could have the blue led on mine. I was surprised that at how easy it was to do. In short I would say yes it will fit. Its big but small in all the right places and is pretty short height wise. It is also an awesomely effective cooler. Mounting can be tricky just be sure to think it through and put the RAM in before mounting it.
