Uh, can't you just rotate the CPU cooler to miss the slots?

Or just return the RAM and get low-profile ones?

I didn't install the aftermarket cooler, I got them to install it for me for free once I bought it from them.

I can provide a pic, just gimmie a minute to upload em in spoilers.

excuse the ninjasize pics.

Edit: I sure rotating it won't work either, because the heatsink for VRM obstruct the way if you put it sideway.

Oh. Just remember to replace the TIM if you attempt to remove the cooler before re-seating it.

The links are forbidden as well (Error 403).

Try TinyPic.

TIM - Thermal Interface Material - "Thermal Paste".

^ Nice pick-ups. Should be good for some light overclocking.

Crucial M4 128GB SSDs were just $109.99 on Amazon the other day... now it's back up to $129.99. Copped one for $158 back then.

oh well. Really happy with mine anyways.

Thanks

 I was gonna grab that Crucial but they were out of stock and was gonna price match em for cheap price.

I think I may need to upgrade my psu if I want to have more expansions(like another SSD or HDD) since I've used up all the 4 SATA power connectors
