I have seen this combination in a few sigs and am wondering how people deal with the clearance issue. I can think of 4 possible ways:
1. If using only 1 or 2 sticks of Ram, use the slots farthest from the processor.
2. Remove the heatsink from atleast 1 stick of Ram.
3. Mount Vendetta 2 offset 1/4 inch or so, leaving part of the processor without making contact to the Vendetta 2.
4. Grab a saw and cut the heatpipes off the reapers (unsure if they can be removed in a non destructive manner).
Since I have heard it is best to use the slots closest to the processor, none of these solutions are ideal. I would like to avoid 3 and 4 most and am currently using 1. I just thought I should ask which is more important, Ram temperature or proximity to the processor?
