Unfortunately, in all likelihood it will not fit, due to the frio having a height of 163mm and there being reports with that case struggling to fit a CM Hyper 212, which has a height of 153mm.

Probably the cheapest it will likely fit in is the Cougar Orange.

They are fairly good. As an air cooling alternative, I would recommend the Xigmatek Dark Knight II http://www.newegg.ca...N82E16835233029 or Phanteks PH-TC12DX http://www.newegg.ca...N82E16835709018

I honestly can't say for certain, as it is a newer heatsink there aren't many reviews out for it yet, and there isn't one discussing RAM clearance yet. However it only has a moderately tall heatspreadder so it likely will.
