Doesn't seem like there is room under the heatsink (the heatsink sits 28.5mm above the motherboard surface, while the Corsair LPX memory is 31mm tall).

Have you considered rotating around the heatsink?

Although that could interfere with a particularly large videocard in the top slot.

 

Otherwise you need to get watercooling or an air cooler that has at least 31mm of room under  the heatsink

Is the heatsink itself hanging above the ram or just the fan? Can you raise the fan?
