Okay, this is how it would look if I had the wire connectors which I don't. Look at how close it is. Now picture it with the plastic clips which make it extend another 1/4" over which would go well into the memory. If I can get coolermaster to send me the wire clips it will work great, if not, a new fan would be in order. One of the skinny scythe fans I guess. I could take off the heat spreader on the one stick of memory too.
