Is this memory low profile?

Looking to upgrade from 2x4 corsair vengence blue low profile to this:

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (BLS2CP8G3D1609DS1S00CEU)

Would this be ok for use with a NH D-14 Cooler in an Asus Z77 Deluxe mobo?

Two contrasting replies!

Methinks a webnote contact form enquiry is in order.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for all the replies guys - I'll probably stick with the Crucial ones as I don't think the marginally faster timings on the Patriot will be noticeable.

Just to let everyone know I got this memory (along with a nice Gigabyte 7970) today. The memory is actually labelled 9-9-9-24 (not 9-9-9-27). I haven't independently verified this since I am running Linux and there doesn't seem to be a cpu-z equivalent that shows memory timings (no luck running it through wine either).

I guess it would show up in the BIOS - I'll check this next time I boot!

BIOS confirms the timings as 9-9-9-24. Either I got lucky or OCUK need to update their details for this ram.
