I'm looking to overclock my CPU (AMD FX 8150 (FM+3)), so I guess I need a new heat sink+fan, since the stock one idles at 40 and i'm always scared to push my system.

so having looked around here and other sites i see the Hyper 212 mentioned ALOT, and having looked it up i'm concerned as to weather or not it will fit in with my MOBO, specifically my RAM (ripjaws and those stupid red fangs pointing "up").

so my question is will the Hyper 212 fit into A: an Asus M5 A88-V EVO
and B: will i be able to use all 4 memory slots? Its not needed i could just buy 2 8 gig sticks as opposed to using 4 of the 4 gigs, but it would still be nice to have the option open.

My main concern is for those 2 MOBO heatsinks as they might get in the way of a larger heatsink.

Solution
Go with the 212 EVO, it's fan (or fans if you add a second to the back) are adjustable for height, I had to raise mine about a 1/4 inch to run my Tridents fully populated...and the EVO is prob about the best air cooler made
