Hello there. All i need is a Cpu Cooler and well i wondering if the one im planning of getting will fit fine and not disrupt with the memory (Ram). The Cpu Cooler im planning to get is the NZXT Havik with Dual 140mm fans

Here are my specs:
Case: NZXT Switch 810
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V
CPU: Intel i5 3750k (Lga 1155 socket)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Blue 2x4 Gb

It'll be great if you guys can help me out and let me know if this Cpu Cooler will fit with my problems.

Should be fine, I've heard that the hyper 212 evo is better and only about $30 though. If you want to make sure it will fit, the dimensions are 140 (W) x 166 (H) x 120 (D) mm. So you'd have to take out a ruler and measure, or if you had a 120mm fan handy you could use that as a guide since you know it's 120mm high and wide.

I was looking at that cooler aswell but all the posts said that it is too huge and wont be able to fit with corsair vengeance ram:/ Right now though on looking at the Xigamatek Dark Knight Night Hawk Cpu Cooler. It look really good. It also looks alot smaller compared to both the Nzxt Havik and the Hyper 212 Evo.

You should be fine with 2 memory sticks. A lot of times with those coolers you lose the memory slot closest to the cooler. So in your case the black set can't be used, but you can pop memory into the blue DIMM slots. If you want to add RAM down the road it will need to be low pro memory or replace the existing.

There is always that chance that you have enough room, but my experience is you loose that one slot. Especially with those Corsair Vengeance RAM coolers.
