Hi guys i bought a pure rock cooler, and i see that it won't fit in my motherboard he will block ram, is there any way to get the cooler horizontal? mobo: ASRock N68-VS3 UCC
 
Then you have done something wrong I'm afraid.

Pure rock allows ~40mm ram clearance, Crucial Ballistix is smaller than that

You might need to install the ram before mounting the cooler though.

But the pure rock should no way interfere with ram slots 2&4
 
Oh that strange board with the top ram slots
I'm afraid you can't turn the heatsink 90° on AMD systems

However I've seen pictures of the heatsink with RAM fitting underneath the side of it
