Is this memory low profile?

DeadLiftKing · 16 Feb 2013 at 20:05

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?

They arnt low profile not sure about the cooler.

OptimaLnrg · 16 Feb 2013 at 20:41

Two contrasting replies!

Methinks a webnote contact form enquiry is in order.

Thanks guys!

It appears to be normal profile. Not super-slim, but no silly heatsinks.

No problem with a D14.

^This.
It'll be fine

For that price, I'd rather have these though: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-059-PA&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

The little bit of extra height won't trouble your front fan.

Slightly better timings.

They would be the better choice. If you can confirm they fit.

Your first choice (Crucial Ballistix Sport) will fit just fine thou DeadLiftKing.

They're a mm or 2 taller than the Avexir ram I use with a K2. The front 120mm fan will have no probs and even if it did, sliding it up a couple of mm is no issue

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.

Uncle Petey · 17 Feb 2013 at 15:01

No, but they overclock well and look a damn sight better

You're all good either way mate.

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!

DeadLiftKing · 20 Feb 2013 at 19:19

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

Nah not that lucky, have the same

and on Crucials website details are 9,9,9,24
