Doesn't help I have a sabertooth with its thermal armour. Means I can't put the fan on the back of the cooler.

Now I'm confused. :confused:

Cooler is running bottom to top and won't clear RAM front to back So is thermal armour at back in front of socket plate?

I tried it front to back. Didn't fit because of the RAM. Also tried it with the 140mm at the back of the cooler but the thermal armour stuff got in the way.

It fits now bottom to top.

Understand.

I could got front to back with lower RAM no problem and bottom to top in my case works great, but top and bottom fans are almost in contact with mobo heatsinks.

I'm a little worried that the GA-X58A-UD5 heatsinks will be too high for 140mm fans to fit with in my case.
