I've got a coworker assembling a system and he currently is planning on using the stock cooler with a i5 2500K. I told him... you don't want to do that lol. He's also getting a Z68based mobo. So, since he's sorta on a budget, I recommended the Coolermaster 212 for a HSF. But he's using the Gskill ripjaws memory with those semi tall heat spreaders. Does anyone know of the 212 will fit with the RAM in the slots?http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428

Absolutely. Ripjaws are even compatible with the NH-D14. I don't think you would have any problem with a 212+ even with RAM with taller fins

Thanks Dario!
