Hi good AM

Im planning to buy an Avexir Ram (blue led 8gb 2x4)

Now

Im having this issue like is my Hyper 212x is there enough Ram Clearance? because in my point of view i didnt see it can fit the other 1

Motherboard: Gigabyte f2a68hm-s1
HSF: CM Hyper 212x
Current Ram: Low Profile generic Ram 2x4gb
Planning to replace Avexir Rams

Thank you
 
The only "cooling function" of tall RAM heatsinks is to "look cool". If you want form to rule over function then you will have to accommodate that choice with a cooler that doesn't block the RAM slots.

You have the MoBo ... you have the cooler....

1. Does the heat sink hang over the slots ? If so then you are S-O-L ... option: Buy new HS
2. Does just the fan hang over the slots ? If so, move fan to other side

I gotta ask ... given the current MoBo / CPU, what is the reason for switching RAM ? To add LEDs ?
