Hey all,
I'm looking for some advice here. I'm rocking a Core i5-750 / P55 set up right now and looking to upgrade my 4 gigs of ram. I had ordered 2 more sticks of the 1600 Patriot G Series ‘Sector 5’ which showed up DOA, I'm in the RMA process right now. When I was installing the new sticks I found it to be nearly impossible to fit 4 sticks with the rear fan on my heatsink.
The plan is to buy 2 sticks of 4GB (8GB total) DDR3 1600 with room to upgrade in the future.
Right now I'm looking at CORSAIR's Vengeance DDR3 1600 Low Profile RAM.

I'm just wondering if anyone had used a set up similar to this one that worked will for them.
