Hello, I currently hae a CM 212+ installed in my rig, it is mounted on a gigabyte p55-ud4p motherboard. I love the temperatures I am getting from it, but it hangs over my 4th memory slot, only allowing me to use 1 set of dual channel memory. At the moment it is not an issue since I have 2x 4gb sticks of ram, but at some point I'm going to want to use that ram slot. Is there an alternate heatsink and fan that I can get that would cool better than the stock intel heatsink, and not hang over my ram slot?

Anyone's help is greatly appreciated.
 
What ram exactly?
I've installed the 212+ on a few 1156 mobo's and filled the 4 dimms with Gskill Ripjaws and Sniper = no problem.
You can slide the fan up a tad = works fine.
Unless you have really tall ram like Dominators,Vengeance,or original Kingston Hypers you shouldn't have an issue.
