Hey guys,

I've built a HTPC for my sister but I'd like to get more air to the cpu, due to the ambient temp of where it will be located. Looking to install the CM Hyper 212 EVO but not sure if it's going to be an issue with Ram on this board. I've got G.Skill Ripjaws X (40mm height) on a Gigabyte GA-H87M-HD3 - anyone know if this will fit?
Thanks.

As long as the ram doesnt have high profile heat spreaders it will be fine. Even if it is an issue, you can easily switch sides that the fan attaches to, and have the fan pull air through instead of pushing through the heat sink without a problem
