Hey there Tom's, I'm a first time builder and am going to be ordering my computer parts in a week or so. I've decided to go with the MSI G-45 motherboard after reading many reviews and looking at the prices of other Z87 manufacturers. I've also chosen the Hyper 212 evo because i haven't seen a better cooler at the price point.

My question is: Will the Hyper 212 Evo conflict with Corsair vengeance RAM (2 x 4 Gb) on the G-45 motherboard?
 
Solution


No, all 2x4GB or 4x4GB kits come in dual channel sets, so RAM heat spreaders have nothing to do you'll be fine with low profile RAM and your CPU coolers won't conflict with your RAM and all RAM kits will run in dual channel mode. :)
No, it won't fit with first slot occupied, I have exact same parts and you have to install your RAM into slots 2-4, I run my RAM in slots 2-4 with 212 EVO. :)

Edit: if you upgrade your memory to 16GB (4x4GB) you have to buy low profile RAM like G.Skill Ares or Sniper series.

Ok thanks for the quick reply, does that mean you do not get the dual channel bandwidth?
