I am getting the Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance Pro Blue RAM and I'm hoping it Corsair will fit with my Cooler Master hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler without having to take one of the fans of it. I heard that the Vengeance Pro is shorter than most RAM but I have doubts :/
EDIT: I have a Asrock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard if that affects anything :p

Hello,

Yes, the memory is compatible with your motherboard and it should be fit in with the CPU cooler. Yes, low profile modules are better than the other memory with tall heat spreaders. I assume that the CPU cooler will not block your RAM slots so I think you should be fine. If you need other Lower profile modules then try GSkill Ares or Sniper series. Good luck with the upgrade. Cheers, mate!!

Yes, the joy of the EVO, besides it's great cooling ability is that the fans, front and back (yes you can add a second fan) are adjustable for height, I've got the 32GB of GSkill Tridents sittting under mine, had to raise the fan about a quarter inch, still run s low 30s at 4.7GHz 24/7
