I have this board and high memory sticks - Patriot Viper. So what about clearence Noctua NH-U12P for this board?

I had it. You can´t install both fans when you have high profile memory, not even in the blue (or the farest), I jus´t cant remember slots.

I want set up 1 fun for start. On the memory side to push air to back side of case. If its possibly to set up memory in far slots and what clearence? (Blue slots near CPU, white slots far.)

And what about this trick: http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=f...products_id=14

What can I do if the fan blocks my RAM or chipset cooler?
In order to increase clearance, you can easily move the fan up a few fins as show below:

You can use the white slots with the NH-U12P and 2x fans.
If you want the blue slots then forget 1 fan.

I reviewd this board long time ago. Here some pics:

And yes, you can move up your fan. I suppose the performance loss won´t be noticeable (specilaly with 2 fans).
