As thread title really, I was hoping to purchase some G.Skill Tridents, but I've just discovered that my Archon X2 CPU cooler will potentially interfere with any memory taller than 3cm in the first RAM slot of a 1155 motherboard (turns out the lauded slimness of the Archon was only tested on 1156 motherboards!)
Soooo, I'm looking at lower-profile memory and I'm particularly interested in purchasing 32Gb of 1600MHz HyperX Genesis, but amazingly the price of the quad-channel set has skyrocketed upwards of £130 in the last 24hrs at some places! (In which case I assume that makes the LoVo better?)
The HyperX LoVo is still at the same price point at a few etailers though (around £230), but I'm paranoid that there's a hit in performance to achieve this Low Voltage? Is the only difference between these memory types merely the 1.35V - 1.5V difference?
Motherboard is the Asus Maximus VI Hero
