This is my first quad core build, here are the pics below of the problem I've faced during installation:
I am currently using a an Intel qx9650 heatsink (which has the LED in it) and as you can tell from the pics, I am unable to use the 1st RAM slot since the heatspreader that came with the RAMs are too tall. I would like the same kind of heatsink but with 90mm that cools just as well, if not better than the current one I have now. I would like for the fan to be LED as well, but most importantly, that the heatsink be both copper/aluminum and lightweight. The reason I choose this kind of heatsink is due to cooling at the northbridge (I don't want to spend more for water cooling or modify any of the heatsinks for the northbridge that the board came with). My case has no fans on the side of the case, as it is an Antec Super Lanboy. So recommendations are welcome, I did a lot of research for choosing a heatsink, not even Newegg has the one I need >.<
