I have an EVGA X58 classified board and an Intel; i-7 CPU, and 6 sticks of Corsair dominator RAM (DDR3-1600 – Model CMD12GX3M6A1600C8) which comes with twin mini fans mounted on top of the RAM. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145271&Tpk=CMD12GX3M6A1600C8
My question is: Is there enough clearance to install a Megahalem heatsink in push-pull mode? If yes, what fans will fit the Megahalem? Has anyone done this? My calculations show that there is a 1.0 mm interference near the RAM in such a setup. Maybe there is a way to do this without extensive machine shop modifications. I do not want to buy the parts and then try to see whether they will fit.
Your solution will be greatly appreciated.
