Hello, I was looking into building a computer. Now, the only part I have ordered of the three named in this particular question is the Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0 motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131874R. Now, my question here is: With this motherboard, I was looking to get 8GB of G.Skill Ripjaws, in dual-channel: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231400&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=, and was looking at the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO or plus, one or the other, to cool my CPU. Can anyone tell me, since as far as I am aware, this RAM is too high-profile for either, if the best solution would be to look into new RAM, a new cooler, just to use the RAM in different configuration...? If anyone could get back to me, that'd be great. :)

Well, I just looked at my motherboard's user guide, and it said one of the recommended dual-channel configurations was slot A2 and B2, so the one closest to the CPU is not used. So, I guess now what I'm asking is, exactly how wide is either cooler? Wide enough to hang over the second RAM slot or no?
