With TopFlow now installed we have a good idea of how this CPU cooler looks on an ATX motherboard. With TopFlow being a top-down style cooler there is less height, more clearance for memory but some space is taken off the width of the motherboard. Not all CPU coolers have a pleasant physical appearance but TopFlow has this as one of its strengths – it looks pleasing to the eye and co-ordinates well with other computer hardware.





Due to the heatsink sitting slightly higher than a tower-style cooler there is additional clearance to be taken advantage of. As you can see below standard low-profile memory has copious amounts of clearance. Total clearance here is approximately 6cm which is more than enough for some of the tallest memory kits out there such as Corsair Vengeance which is 5cm. So certainly on this front, the TopFlow has clearance in its favour.
