So I have corsair vengeance ram, which is high profile. I currently have my 212 evo blowing through the fins into the rear exhaust, but If I have the fan on this side, I cant put all 4x4 of my ram, only 4x2. Would it be ok to re mount the fan so that it is pulling through the fins instead of blowing air through it? Would that significantly increase temps? Thanks.

Here's a good read / test results on push vs pull vs push/pull on the Hyper 212+ (not the Hyper 212 EVO), but, you can generally infer on the data shown on how temps would be on your specific cooler: http://www.overclock.net/t/1199135/hyper-212-testing-push-vs-pull-vs-push-pull-also-horizontal-vs-vertical-positioning

Push using 2000RPM Blademaster
Ambient Temperature: 23.2
CPU Temperature: 61, 57, 55, 59
Average Core Temperature: 58
Temperature Over Ambient: 34.8
