I am going to have "Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 DDR3 1600 8G Kit (4Gx2) CL9" for my new desktop RAM,

and I am planning to use "Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO TURBO" as my CPU cooler.

I wonder will the RAM block the way of heatsink??

PS. My motherboard is ASRock H77 Pro4/MVP

if its the hyper 212 evo' date=' i think it should fit just fine. [/quote']Well that's what he just said it was, didn't he? :P. But yes, a Hyper 212 Evo will fit. And only on an insanely crap Motherboard would the RAM block the CPU cooler. And can I ask, what CPU are you choosing? I ask because, if you're not planning to overclock, or if it's not an i7 then your standard Intel CPU cooler should be fine, and perhaps you could spend that money you were going to spend on the Hyper 212 you could put towards a higher version of something else.

My CPU is going to be a i7-3770,

and I am not planning on overclocking.

Thanks for answering :)

Ooh sweet, wish I had one of those puppies. Standard i7-3770 or 3770K? It's difficult really, as you're not planning to overclock you MAY be able to get away with the standard Intel CPU cooler. However just to be on the safe side, I'd say stick with the Hyper 212 Evo. Cheap, good performance for the price. But to answer again, there should be no problems regarding space between RAM>CPU Cooler with that Motherboard.
