DDR4 RAM slot width?

I am planning on buying four of these RAM copper heatsinks, purely for cosmetic reasons.

 

<Alibaba link>

 

My only concern is, will I be able to fit four DDR4 sticks (with these heatsinks attached) to a motherboard? The cooler is advertised as being 12mm wide. Is that small enough for placing 4 of these next to each other in the DIMM slots?

 

Right now I'm still rocking with older DDR3 hardware, so I don't want to make false assumptions based on what I currently use.

 

Also I am fully aware RAM doesn't need cooling at all, so if you make a comment "but you don't need a copper heatsink on RAM" it means you didn't read this post to the end.

i have vengance led, youd probably not be able to fit anything other than a peice of paper between the heatsinks

(my dims are 3.5cm for all four dimms or 0.785mm per dimm or there abouts)
