Is not compatible with DFI...too big and might cause interference, know of any ones that are good that will fit nicely with no interfrence?
 
ive had good luck with thermaltake, but whatever you do DONT get one that has a thermal speed control, those just dont work.... use either a manual switch or control knob , oh, and get all copper only

I see you have that mobo 🙂, so it is smal enough that it doesn't cause interference? And also what fan did you combine it? One last thing...did you use Arctic silver 5 or the thing that came with it?

Sorry, I don't actually have it installed, it's being shipped by slow ass UPS right now.

I've heard nothing but great things about it. The XP-120 is the HSF that'll cause you to lose a DIMM slot, the XP-90 should be fine.

I bought the Panaflo 92mm H1B, the higher velocity Panaflo fan. And yes I ordered AS5, it's worth the extra $5.

No, it's this OCZ. SOrry I couldn;t find it on ncix.com, but you want this RAM.

I'm running 225mhz 2-2-2-5 timings right now on value RAM! Don't be afraid to give this RAM extra voltage because it craves it.

Don't get any value RAM other than this.

If you wanna get fancy THIS OCZ memory is a sure bet with the DFI board.

It's expensive, but very good RAM.
 
ANY RAM will work, but the DFI board is very picky about RAM.

It all depends on if you plan on OCing or not. If so, dont go cheap unless it's the value vx
 
If you're not gonna OC then I would go with the lowest timings you can find. That RAM would do fine with no OC.
