Re: skirk08's Build - Core i7-2600K - GA-Z68XP-UD3 - HD 6870
It clears the memory (sort of). I originally set up the fan to "pull," and installed it on the backside of the cooler because of the clearance issues. Later, I purchased a second fan from the Corsair website to install as intended. It installs, but because of the memory, hangs off the cooler about 3/4". The clips still clip to the cooler, and the rubber pads are still in contact by moving them over a tad.
I did get about 2 degrees Celsius lower when adding this 2nd fan as I had hoped. If you don't mind this, I'd recommend it. For the price and low noise factor, it works for me. I'm not sure you'll find many coolers that will work because of this board and the memory placement.
