Hyper 212 EVO Ram overhang?

[Nerdtastic14]

Hi,

I am building a system for my friend using an ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer, a Hyper 212 EVO and Corsair Vengeance ram. I am wondering if the large heat spreaders on the ram will hit the 212 and should I go for the LP version instead.

Thanks.

I'd go with low profile ram just to be safe.

go for LP

Are you planning on occupying all 4 slots?

You could just occupy the slots 2nd and 4th from the CPU.

If you move the fan from push to pull (still moving air front to back) then you will be able to fit it 4 high profile DIMMs with that motherboard. I did a similar configuration for a friends build and it works just as well in pull as push.

 

Edit: It should work as pictured:

Thanks for all the replies. I will just go with the LP as I have used it in my own build with good results and my friend will not be doing any ram overclocking. Fastest response I have ever had on a forum!
