Hi. If I have a Phanteks or CM Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler installed, do I have good clearance to add more Ram to my motherboard? Or do I have to take the cooler off to add more sticks of Ram to the otehr 2 Ram slots not being used which is the one next to the motherboard and third one down I guess.
So the slots I'm using are 2,4 and I want to add more to slots 1,3.
Here is the Phanteks fan

And my motherboard I'm getting.
