Hey guys i'm not the brightest when it comes to numbers and dimensions but i'm looking for the best possible cpu cooler that will fit in my case/mobo combo WITHOUT blocking any ram slots.

MOBO: MSI A88X-G43
CASE: Thermaltake Chaser A31

Price isn't an issue.

p.s. Preferably with blue led or just plain black/blue (if possible)
 
Solution
160mm clearance, the cooler master hyper 212 evo is going to be the first recommendation but if price isn't an issue then check this page: http://www.frostytech.com/top5heatsinks.cfm


I see you're using an FM2+ motherboard, just a word of caution be careful if using speccy / hwmonitor etc to view temperatures as they can be misleading (i.e. too high).

No problem, here's a guide to understanding temperatures with AMD processors and APUs: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-2122665/understanding-temperature-amd-cpus-apus.html
