I am looking into some RAM cooling and I would like your opinion on what to buy. I have two systems with the following memory :
1. Normal G-SKILL CL7 TRI-KIT 6GB 2. TRIDENT G-SKILL CL6 TRI-KIT 6GB These go into a Gigabyte UD3R X58(CL7) and an Asus Rampage II Extreme X58 (CL6). Both have Noctua cooling so I would like to get something that fits on the memory banks without being obstructed by the CPU cooler. I was thinking of these : 1. Geil EVO Cyclone 2. Corsair Dominator Triple Kit 3. Kingston HyperX 4. OCZ XTC Memory Airflow Rev 2. Which ones should I get? Any suggestion is welcome even if it is not on that list. Cheers, Wish ...

I personally used the OCZ and the Corsair before and I think the OCZs lock on tighter.
The corsair dominator fans does not lock on to some memory very tight and I think it is louder too.

Have you thought of copper heatspreaders or removing one of the noctua fans?

Thank you both for the replies. The Noctuas are used North --South meaning no fans protrude towards the ram slots. Both RAM sets have stock passive cooling from G-SKILL on them. The TRIDENTs have these pointy tops for better heat dissipation. Will passive work on passive?
