I want to purchase a MSI Z87-G45 gaming motherboard and put a
Cooler Master Hyper N520 cooling system over the Intel i5 4670k. I was going to purchase the Corsair Vengeance Pro Series RAM Memory modules but I wanted to know if the Cooling system will be too big or will it interfere with the big heat sinks on the Corsair RAM which is right next to the CPU.

Vengeance pro comes in two styles:

Low Profile - has 40mm height and fits under any cooler I have ever used.
High Profile - has these tall toothy heat sinks whose only cooling function is to "look cool". These may interfere with many coolers.

Cooler Master is kinda cheap with the dimension drawings anyway but the web search link comes up as "gone"
