I am getting a Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP Z87 motherboard and i was wondering if there was a cpu fan that i could install that is not very big. For example: a coolermaster hyper 212 evo is too big. If you were wondering the cpu is i5 4670k

Dear I believe you are talking about air cooler not just fan. If hyper 212 evo is big then I can't recommend Noctua NH-U14S :) Check these out:

Although you should really concentrate on their performance not just size. If you are having ram clearance issue then fan mounting options on Noctua NH-U14S can be considered.

Ok. Pl don't worry. Use Noctua NH-U14S with one fan in Pull configuration. Hopefully it will do your requirement. Tell me about your case. I'll see it it can be fitted in that case.

Dear,

Your case support air cooler with maximum height of 160mm. Noctua NH-U14S has a height of 165mm so it can't be fit in. but CM Hyper 212 EVO has a height of 159mm so it can be installed in this case. You can change the fan in Pull configuration on this cooler hence it will give you RAM space clearance.

What I mean is the make/model of the RAM or if you could provide the RAM height so I can better guide you.

Oh ok, sorry for the confusion. Well i actually changed my order, i am only getting 2 sticks of ram that come with this bundle and possibly adding another pair in the future (very likely). The sticks i think are: PATRIOT Viper 3 Series Black Mamba 8GB Desktop Memory Module Kit. But if you want the bundle they come from: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8588420&CatId=8585

Sorry, all I'm getting from this link is Access Denied. If you are buying only two sticks then you can easily buy Noctua NH-U14S.
