My rig will appear if you hover over my picture.

I have been looking for a cpu cooler for a long time. I want to start getting all black components so my rig matches. I love the look of the be quiet coolers. My only question is if these will work with my tall vengeance ram. If one of the be quiet coolers would work with my ram, I would get it in a heartbeat. If by chance that these coolers don't work, what other coolers look like it? (Ive looked at the cm 212 evo, and the noctua, I know they are excellent coolers, but I hate the looks of them.) Thanks for all the replies I get!!!

If you have them in slots 2-4 which is recommended anyway it will fit, and putting the fan over the left side of the cooler decreases it's efficiency as air isn't being pushed over the heat pipes instead it's kind of pulling minimal heat away. You should be fine with your RAM in 2-4.

I had this exact issue, this also depends on how much ram, are all your slots being used up, if so the dark rock 3 will fit but you will have to raise the fan. I use this and had to raise the fan but it's still a fantastic cooler!

I have 2 sticks (2 x 4gb) of tall vengeance ram, does that mean I could move these sticks to slots 2 and 4 and the cooler would work? I have also seen on google images where someone put the fan on the left side of the cooler and it gave a little more room. Does that mean this cooler would work with my ram???:bounce:

Because Bequiet usually distributes to Europe finding US sellers is tough, here is a dark rock 2 link but I can't find a dark rock 3 anywhere!

Although I'm not sure if the Pro will fit. - Make sure it will fit in your case, like so you can close the side panel.

Hope I helped :)
