Hiya. I'm a first time computer builder and I'm having trouble finding the right cooler for the build I want. The problem I'm having is that both of the mobos I'm looking at (GIGABYTE GA-MA790FXT-UD5P and ASUS M4A79T Deluxe) apparently have the RAM slots too close to the cooler and the cooler blocks off a RAM slot or two. I say "apparently" because I've never actually seen a mobo or cooler in real life and I have no idea where the RAM slots are on a mobo.
So, I guess my real question is, what good coolers can I use that will fit the CPU and not block off any RAM slots? I intend to use all four RAM slots, so it's pretty important.
Thanks a lot to anyone who can help me out.
Oh, and sorry if this is a stupid question or in the wrong forum... >_> I'm a complete newb at computer parts.
