Yes. The SLIPSTREAM will work in the East/West config, even with the Trident, which is slightly lower than the HS on the OCZ Reaper. You will not be able to use the included FAN clips though... It will get in the way with the ram.

I wish I had taken some PICs while I was doing it, but I just used a 12" wiretie to thread through the holes of the fan, through the very top slot between the MEGA and the very last slot, and through the holes on the fan on the other side, and used a second wiretie's "head" to secure it to the MEGA. I also used some heavy duty mounting tape to dampen the vibration between the fans and the heatsink...

It actually looks pretty good... Kinda stealthy looking without the clips.

If you have the time to take some pics that would be nice. As I am most likely going to go with a 25mm setup.

Your case is 9 inches wide, and the Megahalems fits my case which is 8.3 inches wide with a bit of room to spare.

Thank you, much appreciated.

I am a few clicks to buying the Megahalems! What are the best 120x25mm fans to pair up with this monster?
