What's the best solution for air cooling the Phenom, and still be able to use all four of dimm slots?

Whats stopping you from using all four, exactly? (What heatsink are you having trouble with)

Alost of the sinks now days start off narrow down at the bottom, then the heat pipes run up and into a fatter part. Plenty of height so anything standing off the motherboard isnt obstructed.
On my XP90 (not the best anymore) some motherboards place the ram underneat it. It hangs completely over them but there is still enough room to take the ram in and out behind the heatsink.

Now that is a different story.

Where is your ram located at on your board? in relation to the socket?

Something designed like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200015 might work
