Basically the stock AMD cooler is a joke. Playing games such as Skyrim or Far Cry 3 takes the CPU up near 90°c with this POS. 212 EVO is apparently one of the best air coolers out there.
But, I have a Micro ATX motherboard, so the RAM is very close to the CPU. I only have 2 RAM slots so I'm not at the liberty of sacrificing a slot. Could this cooler fit correctly, or am I screwed out of having a good cooler?
Sorry about my rude tone but I'm annoyed that AMD gave me a cooler that doesn't protect my CPU from damaging heat levels. Especially since it's a flidding APU. My video card has better cooling than my CPU...

can adjust the fan higher (no noticeable loss to the cooling) if you have tall sticks of DRAM, that's about 10" wide
