Ram in second slot

[Game Freak]

i have a question, can i install ram in the second slot and not in the first one?

The reason i ask is if i install my aftermarket cooler then there is no space for my ram to fit in the first slot.

I have turned the cooler around and its blowing out the heat to the front of the chassis, i want it to exit at the rear.

Yup, It's prolly better. High Profile RAMs are always the problem with huge tower Heatsinks. And yes, I always face and highly recommend that my heatsink and fans to blow out towards the case's rear exhaust.

By the way, how much RAM are you putting in, and what is the motherboard that you'll be using?

Ram is corsair vengeance 8gig
and biostar hi-fi b85s3+ motherboard
So i can put the ram in the second slot?

Further specs is intel core i5 4670 and msi gtx 760

Yup you can.

Yeah....Corsair Vengeance RAM - Typical. I also face that problem when using that with my Hyper 212. Still usable despite it already bumping with the Cooler, but I wouldn't recommend it in a long run.

My cooler don't want to fit, i can't even let it touch the cooler a little bit it's to much in the way. Then i will use second slot. What should intel core i5 4670 idle temperatures and load temperatures be?

Haha i have the noctua air cooler. So huge. I had to cut the heat sinks off one of my Dimms. To be fair unless it's super duper high performance RAM the heatsinks won't really do that much anyways IMO, well not the knobly bits on the vengeance anyway. Just get a hacksaw ad cut the top bits off, that's what i done, got pictures to prove it as well xD

Won't my warranty expire?

Huh.. I completely forgot about that.
I tried tried to take them off but wasn't very successful. To be honest I didn't try that hard jist tried prying them off then that wqs that so I cut the tops off . You could probably just take them off and when/ if they fail just out them back on

hehe okay
As long as i can use the second slot or maybe third slot, then im happy
