Your chances for anybody to have your exact configuration are slim so asking questions like that is not best way to go about it.
Cooler dimensions you can find here: http://global.gamerstorm.cn/Product/Assassin/Technical_Spec/ distance from MB it shows as 43.2mm.
There are no dimensions for RAM but you can find that at their support: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/vengeance-pro-series-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-2400mhz-c10-memory-kit-cmy16gx3m2a2400c10r
For placement on MB consult it's manual.

okay so i found out that the ram needs like 44mm clearance.
so what left to ask is - what's the best way to rip 2mm of that heatsink so that i can fit my bloody ram?

CountMike · Jun 5, 2016

Did you look at MB manual if you can put both RAM sticks in slots that are not covered by cooler ? That should solve that problem. If you don't have those RAM yet, you can look for some with lower shields, coolers on them don't really have to be as high, at their standard voltage they wouldn't overheat even without heat spreaders. Those very high ones are just for looks. If you must cut them down, a Dremel tool with thin disk is best way to go just use masking tape so no metal gets inside and short the hell out of it.

mobo manual says "if u wanna install 2 memory modules, for optimum compatibility and reliability, install one below the cooler and other not below the cooler" no comment on installing both outside the cooler's shadow.. also, can you please give me a youtube link to something like this? please !!??

Edit: i live in india and ram isn't so cheap here...getting it through amazon.com and this is the only one fit for the budget. its like really nice deal for an indian guy

. plus my warranty is over on the cooler so idc

Edit 2: afraid of doing anything to the actual ram, warranty void

The cooler with the fan attached covers almost all 4 memory slots. The Corsair modules are too tall , I barely fit Sniper under , almost touching .

What's the rest of your configuration ? You may not need 2400MHz memory. Precious few systems support it and even less can make full use of it.

What CPU, mobo and cooler?

CountMike · Jun 5, 2016

The cooler is deepcool assasin, the rest of system is important. even GPU. If everything is not in sync, only one of components being better is not going to help the whole.

i have the amd a10-5800k, my motherboard fm2a85x extreme6 supports 2400+ mhz memory. no discreet gpu.

btw, at least in my testing over the last 4 years, i've seen like substantial increase in performance and overclocking headroom, even goin from 1600 to 2133 mhz. so getting 2400mhz will help

CountMike · Jun 6, 2016

In that case it should help, yes. Graphics predominantly !

CountMike :

Tell me how to cut pls. We no dremel in india

CountMike · Jun 6, 2016

It's very soft aluminum, it can be cut with practically anything. Even something like this: http://www.pelikandaniel.com/?sec=product&id=3692&lng=en

Something like this should be in every school.
