With the CHV as it would be with about any board used with it, you can only run RAM sticks like older sticks are but with the MSI I could have ran any RAM type I wanted provided I only used the outer slots, not possible to do with the inner slots.
Since these slots share the same channel (Non-staggered config related to RAM channel) this means you could use any RAM you want with the MSI board I have and the Frio.
If wanting to fill all four RAM slots, that's a different story.

So far I can say the cooler moves a ton of air through it and wasn't hard to setup. Had to remove the stock cooling retaining collar/bracket but no real biggie since I'm sure we've all done that before. If you turn up the fans, it's kinda loud but I've heard worse before and at it's lowest setting it's nearly silent and still moves alot of air through the cooler. Another thing I like about it is if you need to clean it out, just unclip the fan shroud from the cooler, raise it up and clean it.
You can easily clean the cooler itself and both inner/outer sides of the fans once the shroud is removed.
