RAM question

Would you reccommend getting normal ram over low profile ram? Or does it not matter? thanks

If you're getting a big air cooler such as the Noctua NH-D14 or Thermalright silver arrow, low profile RAM will help in terms of space as RAM with big heatspreaders wont fit.. Personally if they were the same price i'd go for the low profile as the heatsinks don't make much of a difference.

Yep, heatsinks/pipes on ram are purely cosmetic. High profile ram can be more of a hindrance.
