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.

HE01, with its thinner radiator tower is ideal for those with dual channel ready motherboards such as Intel Z77/LGA1155 since this provided even greater memory clearance.

With the heatsink attached its clear to see that this CPU cooler is substantial and judging by size and specification should offer up some great thermal performance.





Memory clearance on either side is not an issue with HE01 at all. As already mentioned there is additional clearance for motherboards with dual channel configurations. Directly underneath the heatsink there is approximately 4cm for the total height of memory modules – giving compatibility for a range of memory with taller heatsinks.
