Hey guys, so I hastily bought a NH-D14 from newegg -
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608018

and I am using Crosair Vengance 4x4GB (HP) - http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-145-347&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=100&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=2#scrollFullInfo

Just realized that there's more than likely going to be clearance issues with at least the first two DIMM slots (havn't received the NH-D14 yet) on my MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming Motherboard.

My question was, would it be possible to slightly modify either the fins on the NH-D14 or remove a portion (or all) of the heat spreaders on the Vengance RAM? Reason I want to do this is because I REALLY want to use the NH-D14, but my only option would be to just buy another set of RAM...which I don't really want to do considering I just bought these a month or two ago.... Will probably end up just sending it back and getting a new heatsink and fan though...any recommendations?
