Hello, I'm currently planning my first rig and had some trouble choosing adequate cooling fans.
I want to get a Megahalem heatsink and I'm hesitating between those fans:
1- Panaflo 2100 RPM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835705002
2- S-Flex G 1,900rpm http://www.scythe-usa.com/product/ac...ex_detail.html
Both in push/pull. As you can see, the panaflos are 38mm fans while the S-Flex are 25mm. The thing is I'd prefer the panaflos, but I heard there could already be some clearance problem with fans on the Megahalem (blocking 1st and even 2nd DIMM slot) with 25mm ones depending on the motherboard.
Just asking if anyone with a Rampage 2 Extreme board and a Megahalem could provide me with information about this issue (btw I do not wish to put the Megatron in a north/south position). Also, in case of clearance problem, would low profile RAM (like the OCZ gold) still fit?
