That makes sense +

I haven't gotten my hands on a Mugen II to really mess with it yet. I've installed 1. But that's it.

Here's a Mugen 2 installation video! You get to see details that you otherwise don't see in pictures. Notice especially the base plate. That's just beautiful.

In 6 months I should probably make a Mugen 2 install video aswell. I did it a different way; I hung my mobo off the edge of the table, screwed it in, rotated, screw, rotated, ...

the mugen 2 looks very big and with my mobo the ram is already touching the stock heatsink so i know it most likely wont fit with my reapers. i would prob have to go with the dark knight. is there any other recommendations besides these 2?

Get the Mugen 2 and move your RAM over to slots 2 & 4. Or 3&4, Depending on how your Dual Channel is setup.

Good suggestion. There's really no discernible difference when the memory is moved from one set of matching-color slots to the others.

ill have to move the ram and see what happens before i buy. right now i have them in 1 and 3 as some of the reveiwers on newegg said thats the only way they could get their ram running at 1066. ill have to test and see. thanks for the suggestions. ill prob go with the mugen 2 if i can fit it as its cheaper. can both of those 2 heat sinks be facing the back? thats where my exhaust fan is.

From what I've read about the Xiggy, it can only be faced up or down, but the Mugen can be turned to point the airflow towards the back.

Regarding the memory: try testing the sticks in slots 2 and 4 and see how it goes. If it works just as smoothly, then the Mugen 2 is definitely a good choice.
