Thermalright IFX-14 cooler and MSI Eclipse SLI mb

[mjevans]

Does anyone know if the Thermalright IFX-14 cpu cooler will fit on the MSI Eclipse SLI motherboard, in a two-fan configuration. One person told me that it might overhang the first one or two RAM slots. This seems to be the best air cooler out there atm.

I went ahead and purchased this cooler and installed it this weekend. It overhangs the A0 Ram slot. If you turn it sideways, as one review recommended (to gain 3 deg. C. cooling), it overhangs the first two slots--not acceptable for my installation. Otherwise, it seems to work fine. CPU running at 26 deg C., but I haven't oc'ed yet.
