Air cooler for ASUS P9X79 Pro mb

[Erik The Pope]

Hello, I am building a new computer, mb ASUS P9X79 Pro. I am looking for an air cooler such as the NZXT Havik 140 or the Tuniq T-120 Extreme. My question is will these fit w/o interference with memory with heat spreaders? Thanks!

Another one I'm considering is the Prolimatech Amageddon if they are still available...

No help here, eh?!?!?

No best answer; no answer at all!

Hi , a memory configuration with 4 dimm modules (in my case the Corsair Dominator Gt kit , 4x4Gb) can be a problem with Havik 140.
On the P9X79, 4 dimm must be inserted in the blue sockets, the internal two touch the havik because the heat spreaders are too tall.
In my opinion the best solution is to unscrew the heat spreaders from the two memory modules.
