Looking to cool my processor
-
Good morning!
I am looking for a heatsink for my CPU but I have the problem that my memories are very high (corsair vengeance ddr3) and many of the conventional heatsinks collide with them and I can't put them on.
I have this processor, motherboard and these memories
My processor is a core i7 4790K (LGA1150)
My memories Corsair Vengeance PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 16GB 2x8GB CL10 CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 DDR3 Memory
My motherboard
http://xtremmedia.com/Placa_Base_Asrock_Z97_Extreme_4_ATX_LGA1150.htmlPlease….. Can you recommend one without this problem?
Thanks in advance for your interest.

These are my memories
But according to Noctua, the C12P SE14 cooler is not compatible with them (Corsair Vengeance DDR3)
Noctua.at - sound-optimised premium components "Designed in Austria"! I am still looking for a cooler for these memories. -
Those memories are very tall, put them in the black slots and try with the HR-02 in Xtremmedia. I think it will block the blue slot but since it is tilted to one side you can poke the module on the left into the black slot.
The truth is that the heatsink is very good for its price.

Thanks for the reply, Obione.
The way you tell me, would I lose the ability to mount the memories in a channel?
And one more question…..would this RL be suitable for my 1150 micro?

1 - You have put the link wrong, it's not just your fault, the website is shoddy and responds in a strange way, a fail like this is not strange if you don't get the hang of it.
2 - Look at the specs. If it says 1155, it is compatible with 1150.
3 - In case it doesn't clash with black, you can expand in blues with a low profile, remember for next time not to buy RAM with high heatsinks, it's silly to cool a component with such little impact on performance and that cools well frequencies that give more than enough.
Best regards.

If there is no budget problem I would recommend the h100i it is very good and cools super well. Regards
