When it comes to large CPU coolers, many people can't actually use them unless they have shorter than normal memory modules, modules like the Viper 3 line from Patriot Memory.

And when I say short, I mean in terms of height, not length. The new Viper 3 memory modules are of the low-profile type and are 1.25 inches tall (31.75 mm).

Well, I say modules but they're really kits of two, for 8 GB (two 4 GB modules), 16 GB (two 8 GB modules) and 32 GB (four 8 GB modules).

All the newcomers have heatsinks, colored red, blue or black. They also have XMP 1.3 certification (Intel Extreme Memory Profile) and a frequency of 1600 MHz, 1866 MHz, and 2133 MHz.

Sadly, prices aren't know yet, so you'll have to keep an eye on local retailers and online stores for them.
