Hi guys can any tell me any good cpu heatsinks that can fit on this motherboard? (overclocking)

I have the Xigmatek HDT-S1283 but its so big that it blocks off 2 of the 4 memory ram slots. My moitherboard is Gigabyte MA790GP-UD4H AMD790GX ATX AM2 /AM3. Also i use corsair dominator whuch are taller

thanks in advance
any suggestion are welcomed

Despite being an AMD board it doesn't look too much different from my own, same arrangement and I don't have a problem, which way are you orientating it?

Is it parralel to the ram slots? If so I do not see how it would interfere.

Clearance issues are a problem so I would make sure to check that before buying one or taking a recommendation.
