Cooler Master TPC 812 CPU Cooler

ROFLMAO. You should always check we do a lot of reviews. LOL

Thinking about picking one of these up, I read the review and it said for AMD it will block 1 of the RAM slots, is that just for tall ram or also for standard height heatsinks like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231321? I ask because I have all 4 slots populated.

I believe you can install the memory sticks just fine however the tower will get in the way of one or more of the DIMM slots which means you'll have to remove the cooler if you need to remove the memory sticks.

They will fit in all four slots without a problem. The cooler overhangs the first slot but standard height RAM will fit.

No need to completely remove the cooler,

Asus Sabertooth 990FX CM TPC 812 & Patriot Viper Extreme which have a bit taller heatsinks.

*** Edit noticed Cella got in with the 'goods' while I was looking for the above pics.

That's a relief, I'll go and get one tonight.

Of note about this cooler....you need to use more TIM than you normally would during installation. The mount is very low pressure. If you see your load temps higher than expected, this is likely the culprit.

Well that's also a relief, I always use to much to begin with, I just needed something better than stock so I can fold with it the stock cooler just wouldn't allow for that to happen.
