URGENT: What fits over 4 OCZ Reaper modules??

[deviledeggs]

What high-end HSF will fit over 4 sticks of OCZ Reaper HPC's on a P5K Premium??

Anyone got a Asus P5k Premium with a Scythe Mugen/Infinity or a Thermalright Ultra Extreme etc??

Either that or he means what CPU cooler will clear 4 sticks of OCZ Reaper

Oops my bad... I need a CPU cooler - but some of the big heatsinks seem to block the first DIMM

but thats sweet btw

yea I'm kinda in the same boat at the moment. I'm more worried about the northbridge and case fan tho.

Could put the case fan on the outside? but i ideally want the CPU fan to be on the ram side blowing out the back

looking at pictures of your board I think the big HSFs especially the HSFs that require the fan on same side as your RAM will going to be an issue. Something like the Coolermaster GeminII S or similarly built HSFs should work fine tho.

its roughly 7cm from the centre(ish) of the socket & the Reapers are 7cm tall - it's all together atm - I've gota Akasa Evo 120 v2 cooler over a QX9770 but that's prob not beef enough so I'm not using it yet.
