Recommended RAM for an ASUS A8N-SLI Premium

Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting one of these for my A8N SLI Premium:

Just double checking making sure its compatible. Also for a heatsink would a Zalman 92mm heatsink fit? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835118119

If you want 1 GB of memory, make sure you get the ones sold as matched pairs.

The Thermalright XP-120 or XP-90 are more popular these days. But you will have to purchase a fan for these.

This is a good place to get XP with a fan (like one of the Nexus fans).

Corsair Value Select is on Asus' Memory QVL so it should work just fine.

I use an XP-120 on my A8N-SLI Deluxe. I would highly recommend the XP-90 or XP-120 over the Zalman. The difference in noise for me was like night and day for the same end cooling result.

Ok, right now i have one 512 stick of that RAM on a K8V-SE Deluxe so I just wanted to get one more and use both on the Premium. The XP-90 is probably what ill go with then. Thanks guys.

Also are there any helpful posts or guides I could refer to if I was going to replace my cpu and motherboard but am still going to keep the old hard drive?
