I decided to change my stock cooler for fx 8350 to hypher evo 212,
But im a bit worried that it could be to big for high profile RAM corsair cengeance 4 sticks or my sabertooth 990fx mobo.
Please check my pictures in links with stock cooler and system and give me your advice would it fit.

Solution
The direction of the airflow in your case would be quite odd then, I'd reverse the fan so that it's pulling air out from the heatsink

(take fan off, take off rubber paddings and place them aside, unscrew the mounting brackets, flip fan over and screw the mounting brackets on the other side, place the rubber padding back on the screwholes and mount the fan back on)

BTW, I know that 212 EVO is a darling cooler of this forum, but maybe you could consider Arctic Freezer I30 - it looks sleeker, more silent and as good as EVO for the same price.

I wonder why it falls under the radar here.

Silent is my priority 1, cause i run pc 24/7 and i want to sleep but my stock cooler goes 5000rpm super loud and fx8350 temp is high too around 60C. How loud is evo considering against artic freezer 130? And you guys think i could manage to install evo with those high level Rams, cause when i read a bit many think sceptical about it.

I personally like the Phanteks TC12-DX, which is a solid mid range cooler. Keeps temps on my i5 2500k @ 4.6Ghz to around 30'c idle (usually a bit lower), around 45-50'c in gaming, 60'c on prime95.

I also have the high corsair vengence sticks, and this clears them easily, very good clearance.

When i put together my pc i didnt put thermal paste anywhere cause it didnt come with cpu only stock cooler did i made big mistake and could burn my cpu? cause in standart technical information there wasnt anything about thermal paste! fx8350 temp is 60C under 100% load and 35 idle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrnWVHdhGJ0 30:57 the 4th stick place looks very close to cooler and with high profile corsair vengeance sticks im a bit worried. Should i risk it anyway and order it? Cant you place cooler like not the fans to the sides but face bottom and top ? or it messes with air flows?

Not a great pic (excuse my untidy cables), but it clears my Vengeance high profile ram no problem:

It's about 2-3db quiter AFAIK, not OMGH quiet but a bit better than EVO.
