Ca11umH Honorable Nov 16, 2013 49 0 10,540 Nov 20, 2013 #1 Hey guys, I'm looking at buying the above CPU cooler for my AMD fx 8350 but im concerned it will block the RAM slots on my AsRock 990 fx Extreme 3 MoBo. I'm hoping to use 4 Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB 1600MHz sticks. Many thanks, Ca11umH

Solution Dark Lord of Tech Nov 20, 2013 You can just adjust the push fan = raise it up slightly , and it will clear the ram modules.
