Has anyone heard of specific issues with mounting aftermarket coolers on this board and interfering with Ram slots?

The board only has 4 slots and I need them all...(4x4gb)...

Perhaps I should avoid ripjaws and other sticks with high profiles.....

Basically it comes down to RAM and cooler choice. A lot of coolers hang the fan right over the RAM slots. Couple that with RAM sporting big heatspreaders/sinks, and you have issues. Just avoid RAM with big heatspreaders.
