Sad to hear that. But this is why I am going to but the Gelid cooler. Why don't you just get a new cooler and dump the kozuti?

The 1155 version of the Gelid does not interfere with the memory banks, at least on a ASUS P8H61-I motherboard.

Hi,
if you buy one 4gb memory module to replace your 2x2 gb memory modules, you won't enjoy dual channel anymore. However, if you use your computer mainly as a HTPC just to watch movies as me, I guess you won't notice the loss in performance.

Finally I managed to install the Kozuti together with two memory chips but I need to remove steel coolers from one of Kingstones.. and bend the memory chip a little, it works but I am not sure if it was the best way...

HyperX 2x2GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 Intel XMP X2 Grey Series (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/4GX)
nice picture - how did you fit it into?
does the heatpipe here touch the memory chip or u have a space between?

eskro what is that cooler on that cpu ?! Looks brill for the job i have in mind.
I'm still researching for my first & hopefully last ITX HTPC.
In regards to our chats a while back i'm now thinking of not waiting for AMD Trinity unless you advise otherwise.
I don't think i'm going to see FM2 motherboard with COAX out so will instead have to consider going with a case that offers a slot that i can use for an audiophile sound card. Leaning towards Asus F1A75-I DELUXE motherboard & Nexsus Psile case but also looking into streacom F7& Tendraw H125. I was hoping to get case with 120W DC PSU for around £100-£125 mark but that's looking impossible.
The lack of A8-3800 availability was another factor that was making me wait for Trinity but since than i discovered that 3850 can be under volt by quite a bit. I'm thinking of running it at the 2Ghz mark @40W usage.
This should help with temperature & related cooling issues. Hoping to go fanless or a large 120mm fan at 800rpm max.
