Cooler touching ram

[diddle]

I'm looking to purchase a Core Contact Cooler and my ram is basically right next to my CPU.
Is there any chance at the new CPU cooler interfering with my DIMM slots? This is a picture of my mobo.

In essence, you shouldn't have a problem however it depends on the height of your ram and the height of the cooler where the fins stick out. Worst case scenario you could always cut a couple of the fins off the cpu cooler. Are you using 2 or 4 gigs of RAM?

System specs say 2, so you could always just use the outer two slots and still have dual channel.

it depends, if u have the gskill not pi wich features standard sized heatspreaders there shouldnt be any problem as the core contact is a tall heatsink

That is my ram, just a standard heatsink on the ram.
I doubt i'd ever use those two extra slots, but who knows. Can you face it so that it doesn't even come close to the ram?

Well the fan that you put on the side is usually oriented to blow the heat out of the back case fan, and if thats the way you configure this, then the cooler should be parallel with the ram and not have any problems. The fan that you stick on might, but you can always work around that and shouldn't be a problem. Should be fine.

I've got the core contact. The heatsink itself doesn't interfere at all with my ram, but the fan sits on top of the first dimm slot. However than is OK because the core contact's fan is held on by 2 wire clips so you can slide the fan up away from the ram giving you room to remove it if you need to.
