I have the same cooler and a pair of Ripjaws. While my RAM isn't as tall as the Vengeance, the cooler doesn't go over the first slot (that's with the fan facing my RAM slots). So I would guess as long your RAM isn't occupying slots 1 and 3, there shouldn't be a problem.

Well, seeing as I am going to have 4 sticks of 8gb I will be using all 4 slots.. ? That sucks.. :D

Any other coolers I should get?

Any of the all-in-one water cooling kits will be fine (Corsair Hydro series, Antec Kuhler H2O series, Coolit A.L.C series)

Could you not just get some low profile RAM and then you won't have any compatibility issues:

Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9) £69.98

Yo

I did buy two of the above, however I've come to realise that 1.65V is too high with a sandybridge, and when the voltages get lowered on this it goes unstable.

Also, I learnt that I should get a 16gb set instead of 2x 8gb sets as these are classed as mixing ram as they have different versions.

Basically the only 16gb set I could get was the one I bought.
