Cooler choice help!

Hello i've been looking for a replacement cooler to replace the cooler i got with my i7 2700k. I've been searching/reading about these;

Phanteks PH-TC14PE - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-002-PT

Alpenföhn K2 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-020-AL&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=

Noctua NH-D14 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-011-NC&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=

I want to overclock my i7 while keeping noise levels quite low. I also have high profile ram, would this be an issue?

Thanks

Phanteks PH-TC14PE or Alphen K2

oh wait high profile RAM... that doesn't really go with many after market coolers :/

What is the ram your using?

I suspect you would have issues with all of the coolers.

Which RAM modules do you have exactly?

on some high profile RAM you can remove the fins

RAM doesn't really need heatsinks anyway tbh.

Hi sorry should have said that the ram I'm using is Corsair Vengeance 8GB High Profile Ram
