Its not smaller its designed differently so as not to block the memory slots. A second fan would go on the opposite side of the memory. And it performs better.

This is a known issue with the 212 EVO blocking Ram slots. Its one of many reasons why we now suggest the CRYORIG H7 over the EVO 212, since it performs better and doesn't block any ram slots.

Do not remove the heatsinks or heat spreaders from your ram. You need to replace the cooler with a Cryorig H7, or buy low profile ram as getochkn suggested.
