In the package there are two different kinds of screws. Two normal screws, when installing the cooler with enough space around for a screwdriver and two screws that you can turn in with your hands.

On some mainboard/gfx combinations you will have a problem with the space between the cooler and the graphics card, as I have on my system. I used one normal screw on the side of the cooler before I installed it, then I used the other screw for the other side and it worked fine.

could we get a side shot? because i would really like to buy one of these just i am very worried about it touching my v-card

hehe no worries

i installed mine last night and it touches the heatsink screw for the graphics card. I have seperated them by a piece of thick clear plastic so they never touch. I will try to take a picture for you at the weekend.

Ill keep you posted............cheers

I hope that cooler works on my ram n mobo too, I need it ram voltage is at 2.8 and i wanna go higher

, but it heats up too much

Here u can see the space between the gfx and the dimm-sockets. I think it is less then 1cm too, but didn't mesured it. Maybe i will do that later.

I was planning on getting the OCZ cooler for my system (love the grill and angled setup) but could not find it local. I also heard that the Dominator fans don't work well with regular RAM heatsinks (plus fans are smaller than OCZ's and it cost like 7 dollars more). So I had to use some imagination and couple of old HW I had and come up with my home made cheap looking memory cooler. Pretty much 2 80mm Antec fans with 1 dollar grills and a couple of screws.
Haven't checked how well they work though. Need a therm monitor.
