Cooler Master V6 GT covering RAM

[SoniC_]

Hello everyone!

i have a bit of a problem on my hands regarding my newly installed CPU cooler the Cooler Master V6 GT. I have 16 Gigs of RAM (4x4GB) sticks. and the V6 GT has 2 fans and the fan on the right seems to cover the first RAM module slot. for right now i have the right fan taken off the cooler so i can use all my RAM sticks. However being an enthusiast i would like to use both fans. I am willing to buy a new mobo between $100-$200 if it will allow me to have both fans and all 4 sticks of RAM. If anyone has ideas for good wide motherboards for a Core i5-2500k sandy bridge CPU i would be most grateful!

Thanks in advance again for your help!

If you can live without the humongoid heat syncs on the RAM, maybe normal sticks of RAM will allow the 2nd fan to clear. I have a feeling those heat syncs are more bling than beneficial anyway...

I realize this doesn't answer your question, but I thought Id just toss that out there.

Instead of buying a new Mobo, why don't you buy a better HSF (aftermarket cooler) that will not interfere with the RAM modules and cools better than the V6?
That would be a saner option to opt for IMO.

Buy a low profile kit for the closest dimms.
CL9 timings won't effect your performance very much if at all.

The CM V6GT is a very good cooler no need to replace it.
If you buy that kit you'll have to reset your ram timings in bios to CL9 across the board.
