Installed – Memory Clearance

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: 140 mm x 110.5 mm x 160 mm

A burly heatsink covers much of the motherboard


The heatsink itself covers both the first slots on our LGA2011 motherboard and will only allow memory kits with a maximum height of approximately 4cm.

Furthermore the cooling fan also causes a slight obstruction by constraining memory to a maximum height of just over 2.5cm in height. So there are some limitations with this cooler in terms of clearance but many consumers generally only use the default, outer slots for memory anyway so this would probably be no problem to a vast majority of users.


The large heatsink overhangs slightly
