I have the ASROCK 960gm/us3s fx, I've had it for about a year now and i have had no issues (All components except for the RAM are 1 year old too).

I recently bought the Corsair Vengeance 2x4gb ram and i don't think that the Cooler Master HYPER 212 EVO will fit next to this RAM.

The motherboard is mini-ATX i'm pretty sure, and the ram is kinda close to the CPU stock heatsink i have so i don't think it'll fit despite people saying that it will fit with this ram. Does cooler master hyper 212 EVO have to be facing the ram with the fan, or can it be installed in any direction?
 
Typically you face the cooler vertically and the fan blowing over the cooler out the rear of the case. If the case has ventilation on the top, you can face it horizontally and blow over it out the top. I would try it with the cooler. It is not a wide cooler so it may fit just fine.
