I msg'd noctua they said their D14 is compatible with the memory and i shouldn't have a problem, but I wan't the silver arrow for better acoustics. Fans are huge tho.

I may even go with a simple: http://www.amazon.com/Thermal-right-archon-armor-copper/dp/B004D1VULU

The link to the cooler includes 2 reviews. One reviewer wrote "I knew ahead of time that I would need short ram, so I got the Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX."

You could order the G.Skill RAM and either return the cooler or the RAM if they conflict. I would order a kit that I'm sure will fit. This kit might fit, but you'll have to try it: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231497

I kind of wanted low voltage ram for less heat and OC'ing. Plus my asus board is blue.


Wait you said you're sure that would fit, then it might fit?

Initially I linked the wrong kit. The modules were very small, but they weren't 4GB. The 4GB modules that I linked are not as small. I would get the low-voltage modules and a cooler that doesn't conflict with them.
