Ripjaws X with HR-02 Macho, the fan overhangs the closest dimm, but adjusts up enough to clear.

RipJaws X with Corsair A70

Will a CM Hyper 212 EVO fit with the Ripjaws?

Will a CM Hyper 212 EVO fit with the Ripjaws?

cant find the link but a nocturna d14 did so i dont see any reason why 212 wont and looking at previous post someone already posted that 212 will most likely thats an evo.

Thanks

I asked the store where I bought the Ripjaws and where I would also buy the 212 EVO, they said it wont fit. My next choice is the Antec Kuhler 620.

Can I put my RAM on the DDR2_A2 and B2 slots instead of the A1 B1 so I wont have clearance problems with the HSF and Ripjaws?

 

[Crap Daddy]

It's DDR3 not DDR2 if we are talking about the same motherboard. If you read the manual they don't say anything about what's best, its either A1 B1 OR A2 B2.

When running only two sticks you use A2,B2 which is the standard with most modern MB's on the Intel side I believe.

why did the manual want sticks at a and b instead of aa or bb if its just 2pcs?currently mine is at a1 and b1.

If you put them in A A or B B it would not be dual channel.


Blast from the past, havent posted here in a loooong time!
Since the days of the mighty XP1700, 1000mhz OC

Just reading up on hardware planning to buy as usual, great thread!

Gf's mom wanted a new PC, so I figured I would get her what I want to try and have her be the guinea pig!

Does bios 1.30 fix the hdmi issue in eufi?

Mine washes out (like move mouse and bios gets mouse trail that overwrites bios) does not happen in dvi or regular monitor hookup. but as I love my hdmi lol ...

Has anyone managed to get that Lucid Virtu program working with this board? I'd love to have my 2500k use it's graphics core when I'm just websurfing.

I only given it a slight go at it and trying to set it up made BF3 run as a slideshow so I uninstalled it since I really wanted to play
