Will the GeminII M4 CPU cooler fit in my case and not conflict with my mobo/ram?

I'm nearly positive it will fit in the case but am worried it will interfere with/run into my RAM. Anyone who has experience with that, please help. Case is Coolermaster Elite 130, CPU is i5 4590, Mobo is Gigabyte Z97N-Wifi, and RAM is G.Skill Ripjaws 1800 (2 x 4 gb).


From Newegg:
FOR LIMITED SPACE APPLICATIONS
GeminII M4 is only 59mm/2.3in in height with fan* attached, perfect for use in HTPC or slim systems. (*the fan is only 15mm thick.)

So Im getting something that looks like this correct?

http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/35-103-177-TS?$S300$

I would say that based on many images that look like this

The case seems to have enough room for that low profile M4. Ive seen other pictures of larger things being inside, so I believe you are good to go. You have the thumbs up from me.

Do i need to open it [the mobo/ram] up and measure or should I be okay? I've been trying to keep the parts in the boxes until I get all the parts together (aesthetic reasons, sorry guys ;))

Cturbo how do you know it will fit? (I believe you just want some reassurance)

It's not the case that I'm worried about it fitting in by the way, it's the RAM that I'm worried it'll hit.
