The fan can be attached so that it is positioned well above the bottom of the cooler to allow for better RAM clearance.

When located in our test system, the Tranquillo Rev. 2 isn’t the best looking CPU cooler we have seen, but it is by no means ugly.
The installation manual is easy to follow while the general installation is straightforward for the most part. Things can become a little tricky when carrying out fiddly tasks such as sticking the spacers on to the mounting holes and attaching the fan with the supplied clips.
