Hello guys!

I've just got a new rig, with an i5 4670k processor and JEEEZAS, IT RUNS HOT ON STOCK COOLER. So, I'm thinking about spending a few bucks on a new cooling solution.
The only problem is: I bought high-profile memories. 4 of them. (http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=BLE2KIT4G3D1608DE1TX0)

What should i get that should fit with those high memories?

I'd rather not get a watercooler solution (price is too high), and I was taking a peak at Arctic's Freezer i30 and CoolerMaster Hyper 612, but I'm not sure they would fit. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Not sure about those two, but the 212 Evo allows you to slide the fan up a little to make it clear the RAM. Not sure what the impact to cooling potential is but think I heard it's a couple of degrees. Could always put another fan on the other side for pull.

TBH, anything better than the stock cooler would be nice. I live in Brazil (really hot, and I have no air conditioning on my room...), so my i5 @ 4GHz gets from 40º to 90º in less than a minute under Prime 95 load.
If the 212 Evo would fit (or whatever cooler), I wouldn't care if it lost a couple degrees (as long as stays under 60º at least).

Thanks for the reply and sorry the time i took to answer it. I ended up buying the Cooler Master N620. Got my processor running @ about 70º (the hottest core) @ 4.3GHz and 1.16v. I'm very pleased with it, since it didn't interfered with my high-profile memories.
