hi lads.
lookin for some advice on a cpu cooler. i currently have the asus p67 pro mobo with dominator ram and the corsair a70 cpu cooler.
my problem is the cooler is too big and it covers a dimm slot to limit my expansion slots to just 3 available, now i plan on upgrading my ram from 4GB (currently installed) to 8 or 16GB.
im currently in the process of returning my mobo to asus for the b3 revision model :mad: , and wanted to change the cooler while i was at it, to save me the hassle in the future.

anyone know of a good air cooler that will clear my corsair dominator ram, i can remove the fins if need be.
i was also lookin at possibility of water cooling with something like this

iv never had water cooling before so i am a bit wary of the dangers to other components from a leak or worse from the water cooler..... has anyone got any experience with water cooling and or recommendations for water cooling?

ps: i will be overclocking (current clock 4.5ghz i5 2500k)
