The fan did not foul memory slots on either of our Intel test motheboards (though it was very close), but on AMD it was hanging over the first slot even so, with our low-profile sticks there was no issue. It's simple and not too fiddly you do need to remove the fan to get at the spring-loaded screws, but the clips make this easy. After this, Intel or AMD mounting arms are screwed to the cooler's baseplate, after which spring-loaded screws secure it to the standoffs. If you're a LGA2011(-v3) user – unlikely with a cooler like this, but still – you simply screw standoffs into the socket holes. The screws poke through the rear of your motherboard and are secured on the front side with standoffs. Performing nearly identically in our tests, both of the Hyper 212 coolers provide similar values for acoustic efficiency, while the MasterAir MA410M struggles with a higher relative noise level. These can be adjusted back and forth to the appropriate socket holes, or you can remove the clips holding them in place and put them through the AMD holes if necessary. A plastic universal backplate is supplied with mounting screws pre-fitted for Intel sockets.
