Patriot RAM Any Good?

I am thinking of buying this RAM since it is on sale - $59.99

I am going to be using a Hyper 212 EVO will these heat spreaders be too tall?
I want the high speed RAM for OC and because my Mobo supports it (ASROCK Extreme 6)

Patriot is a solid brand.

That's really cheap. Great deal.

Those heat spreaders might be too tall, but if you're just running 2 sticks, you might be just clear of the fan anyway.
Also, those timings on that mem are a little loose. You can get CL9 mem at that speed, but it'll be 1.65v. You might be able to up the voltage on the Patriot sticks to tighten the timings, though. Good brand, I just haven't owned any Patriot memory in almost a decade.
I trust mem from these brands, in no particular order:
Patriot
G.Skill
Corsair
Samsung
Crucial
Mushkin
Kingston
Geil
There are probably a few more, since I'm sure the "true" manufacturer overlaps brands a lot. Only a few actually make their own.
EDIT: But hurry up and buy that shite if you're gonna, because the website with the $59.99 price says "HURRY! Only 1 left at this price!"

Ya, I got a pair. I read some reviews quickly and they said you have to bump them up to 1.65v for them to work right so I will do that.

Hyper 212 and heat spreaders are hit and miss. Many reviews people say they had problems but mine was fine.

gotcha. I will wing it and come to you all if it goes terribly wrong

There is a way to remove the heat spreaders that I heard isn't that hard if need be
