i have a ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer Mobo an looking for a aftermarket cooler. The question is does the Ev0 212 fit with 4 sticks of vengeance ram? if not can someone recommend a Cooler
 
Solution
Corsair Vengeance ram, unless you mean Vengeance LP, is 52.5 mm tall, while the 212 EVO only has room for about 37mm height ram in the closest slot before the fan has to be moved up or switched to pull configuration.

As far as alternative coolers, the Cryorig H7 is a popular choice for not interfering with tall ram heat spreaders, though if you want better cooling for overclocking, and your case and budget support it, you could consider the Cryorig R1 Universal.

Solution
Really? iirc, that's quite a bit noisier than a 212 evo or Cryorig H7, and doesn't offer significantly better cooling, so it's only worthwhile if you've got a small form factor case. The motherboard you mentioned is atx rather than mini-itx, though.

you are right about the sound it will be louder . i first choose the corsair h100, but with having a 230t corsair case. it simple wouldn't fit cause it hit the ram stick when trying to top mount the rad with fans.Then i was gonna go with the 212 evo but once again its gonna hit the ram sticks.
