Well, hopefully I can order the parts for my PC tonight . With that in mind, I've been doing more research to ensure I don't order something that's going to have compatibility problems. I plan on getting the Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu LED HSF, but recently I've heard of this HSF's size blocking some RAM slots on some motherboards. That sounds like that could be a problem, so I'd like to know if anyone here knows if I can use that HSF on a MSI K8N Neo4-F motherboard without any problems. Here are links to both products.

If this HSF blocks RAM slots on this motherboard, would there be enough space for the RAM to fit under it if you put the RAM in first? If so, I don't see that as being a big deal. But, a similarly comparible HSF that wouldn't cause such issues would be a nice suggestion. Anyway, if anyone knows, let me know.
