Does the cooler partially or fully block any of the ram/dimm slots on an Asus P8Z77-V LX
motherboard? I want to use 4 sticks of Corsair Vengeance Pro ram for it but I don't know if they will fit with that cooler.

Although it's answered in this thread the short answer is yes, you're going to need low profile ram if you'd like to populate all your available ram slots. You could change up your cooler and forgo the headache associated with finding low profile rams at a desired frequency/timings.
