Any advice on which lower height 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 memory set would work best for my Ivy Bridge Z77 HTPC build. I'm buying parts for a small Mini ITX case Ivy Bridge CPU based HTPC media center. The PC will be used for as occasional home/work PC with little or no gaming and no overclocking. I'm going for cool and quite.
I want a shorter height and cooler running/reliable memory chip set that allows for using a better CPU fan in a slim height ITX sized case. While I have satisfactorily used Ripjaws is recent builds, their RAM heatsink maybe a clearance height problem. In researching memory, I could find no data about chip height.
CPU/MB combo planned for:
So what would you recommend from the following or are there others I should consider?
Thanks
