Memory clearance is something which many system builders and enthusiasts are eager to discover since this will ascertain whether a memory kit will be compatible with the CPU cooler or not. To demonstrate this, a low profile memory kit is used.
Dimensions:
126 x 57 x 157mm (without fans)
126 x 107 x 157mm (with dual fans)
Thanks to its dimensions, even with dual fans fitted the PH-TC12DX leaves adequate space around itself for other devices. Also worth noting is that whilst the blue version of this cooler may not coordinate as well due to the colour-scheme, there are other versions to choose from so that you can match up you setup perfectly. A black version would look particularly appealing on our GIGABYTE motherboard.
PH-TC12DX is poised and ready for action
Even with dual fans there is sufficient space for other items
Onto the topic of memory clearance PH-TC12DX has no issues at all regarding this aspect. Many enthusiasts struggle to fit their memory kits underneath big heatsinks but again, due to the dimensions PH-TC12DX does not obstruct the slots at all. To demonstrate we even use a tall Corsair Vengeance module in the slot closest to the cooler and as you can see below there is clearance for this calibre of kit and taller.
Memory clearance is very good with PH-TC12DX
Even taller kits can fit without hinderance
