Is anyone using memory that has heat spreaders that stick up an extra bit on the P5Q motherboards?

I was thinking of getting the P5Q-E and some G.Skill PI memory, but wanted to double check if it would interfere with any specific HSF setups.

Thanks!

I am using a Thermalright Ultra 120 oriented so that it blows toward the top fan of an Antec 900. The heat spreaders do not interfere in any way, in fact they could extend all the way to the side door if they made them that tall.

Thanks The Odorous One.

Update:

I think I've decided on getting an OCZ Vendetta 2 cooler. Can anyone using this cooler with an Asus P5Q-E motherboard tell me if it interferes in any way with the DIMM slots? I could always get the G.Skill memory with regular heatspreaders, but I just thought for $5 more I'd get the PI version if they would fit.

Thanks!
