Alright so I manage to install the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, and it work perfectly, it improve my cpu temp BY ALOT! But sadly in the process of installing it, I ran into 2 issue that I like to fix.

So I like to ask for some advice

1. The fan from the cooler master hyper 212 evo is blocking my ram, I can only use 3 ram slot. the 4th is block by the fan.
2. The cooler master is so huge I couldn't closed my case that had a built in fan on it. so I had to remove the built in fan. to closed my case.

So I want some advice on if I should get another cooler that is smaller so everything works?(If you advise this please point me into another good cpu cooler)
Or If I should just buy a new computer case fan that would fit with the cooler master?.

as for the ram stick I decided to just buy 8x8=16gb of ram since it's my max on this motherboard anyways. Though I like some opinions. Sorry for my crappy english.

the case in question - http://

The fan will still be blowing on the cooler which is what you normally want. Some people flip the fan around to pull hot air away from the fins but it's been proven that both ways give about the same temps so I would just switch the fan to the other side or use slots 1 and 3 for your ram.

I recommend you take that fan that you had on the side and put it on the front blowing cool air in. As far as your covered Ram slot goes you can move the fan up and down a little bit by adjusting the fan clips, or you could try mounting your fan on the other side of the cooler.

Usually you'll have a space between your 2 ram modules that is empty and are usually color coded but your manual will tell you for sure you should always run your memory in dual channel mode which is usually the matching colored slots. So if you have 2 black slots and 2 blue slots you would put the ram into either the black slots or the blue slots.

The only reason I haven't done that moving the cooler master fan to the other side is because I read. If I place it at the other end I would be blowing hot air into the cpu?. Also the fan that I took out from the side is to big to fit anywhere else other then that spot because the fan was made just for the case.

Thanks for all the advice and help, I decided that I'll just switch the fan over for the ram, and as for the computer case fan I really don't need it. my computer is still silent with the other 3 fans inside it already. If I see anything change and quality is slowing down. I'll just buy a smaller fan to replace my big case fan.
