CPU Cooler Recommendation

I'm looking for a CPU cooler to replace the woeful cooler that is intel stock.

I would hazard a guess that the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO would be one to consider, however the RAM may be an issue; its not low profile.

 

Case: Corsair Carbide 300r

Motherboard: MSI Z68A-G43 (G3)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance (Currently in the slots 1 & 3)

 

Any other recommendations for coolers? I would prefer to keep it as cheap as possible.

I was thinking about moving them but, would the cooler, or rather the fan, cause an issue?

By moving the RAM it shouldn't cause interference.

I must adress my hate on Corsair not putting CPU cooler clearence anywhere. Noctuas U12S and U14S will fit with any ram.

The problem with the Noctua coolers is the colour and the price (£50 is too high)

Move your ram to the other slots and position the fan on the other side as pull. That will fox your problem.
