When I built my computer, I purchased a Black Edition processor in hopes to overclock it in the future. I also bought Crucial Ballistix RAM because it was not only on sale but it was the fastest RAM microcenter had in stock over holiday. Well, the time has finally come when I need to upgrade my computer. I went out, bought a new video card and cooler (Hyper 212 EVO). After trying many times, I found that the cooler wasn't fitting over my RAM. Is it because the RAM is too big or is my motherboard just not spaced properly
