Question 1

How tall is the RAM, including heatsink? I'm looking to buy a Noctua CPU fan and the one I'm looking at says that it will fit with standard 32mm height RAM, otherwise, it may take up the first RAM slot.

Accepted Answer

The Noctua NH-D14 will not interfere with any memory slot.  I bought one earlier this year.  You won't be able to get to the memory without removing the cooler though.

Accepted Answer

You mean will it fit in the pc? If the motherboard can take ddr3 memory, and you have enough room in the case for the heatspreaders.  Goto the motherboard website if they have one for mac and it should give a list of compatible memory. That goes with thet motherboard

Question 4

Hello, is this memory compatible on a Asus Crosshair V Formula Z motherboard? Please Help. Thank you.

Accepted Answer

The best way to find out what memory is most compatible with your specific motherboard is the check the motherboard manufacturer's website.  The charts that show memory compatibility can be tricky to find though.  I did a search on ASUS website and found the chart for you motherboard, and this memory kit is listed as being compatible.  The recommended timings for your motherboard are 9-10-9-28 @ 1.5v.
