3. Follow the QVL (qualified vendors list) provided on the ASUS web site: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO_R20/HelpDesk_QVL/, for the approved memory modules and you will minimize any "ram problems".

4. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is quite a nice CPU heatsink/fan set-up, and you should not have any issues installing it on the M5A99X EVO, in a standard east-to-west orientation.
