I have recently discovered that my CPU is running at 60-70 degrees celsius at idle, and figured i need a better cooling system.

I'm using a Asus P7P55D pro motherboard with a Intel core i7-875k and 2x KHX1600C9D3T1K2/8G ram kits.

I was wondering if i can fit an Thermaltake Frio OCK cooler on it or what type of cooler i can use that will fit and keep my CPU cooled down.
 
Solution
My bad, read that as 2x sticks, not 2x sets of sticks, don't theink the Frio will work - if keeping all the sticks look to the Hyper 212 EVO, the fan height is adjustable (I run the GSkill Tridents on my IB under the EVO)

So i dont have to worry about the cooling unit colliding with the ram, when all 4 ram slots used?
i was afraid the heat spreader on the ram would hit the cooling unit when the ram are 61mm tall.
