I have bought a CM hyper TX3 cooler for my cpu, I wish to know whether it would leave enough clearance for Ripjaws X (4gb x 2) or should I go with G skill sniper ?
I personally love the Ripjaws X. So could anyone please help me.

It's fine.

It doesn't even reach the DDR3 memory slots. See the bottom right picture:

*FYI, usually it's the 2nd and 4th slots in modern motherboards that are used if using only two sticks not the 1st and 3rd from the left.

Also, make sure you get the fan control software for the motherboard and setup a profile to keep things as quiet as possible (for example, lowest speed it can go in IDLE that doesn't immediately ramp up with minor usage). Then ramp up speed as it gets hotter.
