Hi just to be sure about something i want to ask that the cooler master hyper 212X will fit in my gigabyte h61m-s1 motherboard? Without blocking any slots like the PCI slot and ram slot?
Also i have corsair vengeance ram.
 
Solution
What that video basically did was allow the fan to be moved. Normally the fan sits slightly lower, equal to the top of the heatsink fins but has space below. The air moved below the tower blows across the heatsinking and other components around the base of the cooler. This helps keep the motherboard socket area a little cooler. But there is room for the fan to be raised slightly, several mm upto the top of the heatpipes (the little knobs on top) and not affect either motherboard cooling or cpu cooling to any degree. By raising the fan, it gives better clearance for ram when using the first slot nearest the cpu. On your board, the placement of the ram slots is similar to a 4 slot board, but in the area of slots #3,4 so is the furthest...

I checked my case width its Zebronics Grill full tower (calculated it by measuring from outside,as it dont have proper specs) and its approx 17cm width.
Just to be clear its Corsair Vengeance 4GB X2 sticks ram that make it 8GB.

I have gigabyte h61m-s1 motherboard with only 2 ram slots it willl be ok?, I saw in some you tube video that if we remove some rubber bracket or something and attach fan then it wont touch ram is tht works? any chance?

The cpu cooler fan shouldn't overlap your ram at all, and if it does, you can move that fan upwards @5mm and not impact performance.
