    Will this fit?

    I currently have the stock cooler on my 5050e CPU but it's noisy even at low speed so I'd like to get the Scythe Shuriken instead. However, I'm not entirely sure if it will fit on my motherboard because of where the memory is located. The motherboard is a sapphire 780V which is available at Scan.
    Could someone advise on whether this would fit or not and, if I bought it and it didn't fit would it be possible to return it?
    Thanks

    There's a photo on the official product page of one installed, although the angle isn't particularly good for this case. There's another one on the US site and that's taken from an equally unhelpful angle.

    How's the memory laid out? Could you just use the 2 slots furthest from the heatsink?

    Thanks for replying. Currently, I have the memory in slots 1 and 2 (the blue ones) but I suppose I could move it to 3 and 4 if needs be although I'll have to get some cable ties because some power cables such as the ATX one would be pressing right against it. I measured it myself in my case and it looks as though it would just touch the memory so I might be able to get away with it. The cooler sits a little higher than I thought so that should help.
    But if for some reason it doesn't fit at all could I return it, or what about with Scansure?
    Thanks
