Hello guys,
I am planning to get myself a new heatsink and was wondering if the size of my RAM (not the memory, the physical size) would be a problem.
The heatsink in question (see the link below for specific details) is 'be quiet! BK019 Dark Rock Pro 3' and the RAM that I have which is 'TeamGroup Vulcan RED 16GB 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit'
From what I hear, with this particular heatsink it is advised that the RAM should be "standard" or "low profile" height. I have to confess that I am quite unfamiliar with those phrases other than that from what I can gather those RAMs are shorter and therefore the CPU cooler fans that come with the heatsink are sitting over one of the RAM.
Also just incase if this helps, the motherboard I use is 'Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7'. Please do feel free to refer to the links below for specific information regarding the components.
Thank you in advance and I look forward to hearing your responses. Cheers!

P.S
I noticed that when I clicked on the Overclockers link for my RAM that I am using, there were two variations for the product. Please be noted it's the FIRST picture, where the logo Vulcan is written at the top left not bottom left with big fonts.
