Will removing RAM keep my system the area around my CPU cooler?
The area around the CPU can get quite hot so would it help to remove some RAM?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

What I meant was, just remove some Ram, not all of it. xD xD
BTW: I use a aftermarket CPU.
EDIT: Nevermind, I just realized that I only have 16GB..not only..I have enough Ram.

No. It comes down to cpu cooling and case air flow.

This Issue: With this really impressive Design a standard Intel Fan Blowing Air DOWN then pushes the HOT air to the Edges which hit all these cool looking heat-sinks and Ram then go UP and then the Fan Sucks this hot Air back through the Cooler - Efficiently recycling hot air and overheating CPU's etc

I know this as I has seen this happen first hand

Removing A Ram Possibly Yes, but I doubt it will help much...

Best Bet a Side mounted Fan Cooler that clears this stupid design flaw

Side mounter Fan Like Hyper 212 clone (as Hyper 212 are massive) http://www.google.co.nz/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.techpowerup.com%2Fimg%2F11-09-27%2F126a_tx3evo.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.techpowerup.com%2F152696%2Fcooler-master-announces-hyper-tx3-evo-and-hyper-212-evo-cpu-coolers.html&h=768&w=717&tbnid=FYVozRUwaAMBeM%3A&zoom=1&docid=29ecdapXhuVqEM&ei=O2hEVIe9G8i8mgXT14HgDg&tbm=isch&ved=0CDoQMygXMBc&iact=rc&uact=3&dur=302&page=1&start=0&ndsp=24

The Hyper 212 is a very good cooler but its very large and requires a back plate to be installed
(this can mean removing the motherboard unless you have access to the underside of the MB around the CPU)
http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-212-evo/
Also the 212 can get very close to ram chips so if you have tall ram chips it can get in the way

An easier solution that can Fit in smaller cases and uses traditional install are Coolmaster and DeepCool

Ideally you should measure the max space you have (with a Plastic or Wooden ruler) if you don't know the space you have... measure from the motherboard to the edge of the case and -10mm

TX3 smaller 92mm fan http://www.techpowerup.com/152696/cooler-master-announces-hyper-tx3-evo-and-hyper-212-evo-cpu-coolers.html
Easy to fit - fits more cases - since its smaller should have no issues fitting this one

That's the TX3 you mention correct?

Thank you for the help.

This one is better than the Tx-3 about the same size. You can buy it on amazon. The Tx-3 is not
good enough.

Ok, I just bought the CPU cooler that you mentioned http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FS6O20A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Should I a different thermal paste such the http://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-Thermal-Compound-Grams/dp/B000OGX5AM/ref=pd_cp_pc_1 or should I just use the thermal paste that comes with CPU cooler?

Thanks in advanced.
