Asus Maximus III memory slots and Titan Fenrir

Hello all,

For those of you who haven't seen the Maximus III Formula, you can have a glance here: http://www.overclock3d.net/gfx/articles/2009/08/0423142...

My situation is the following, i recently installed the Titan Fenrir cooler onto this motherboard. My memory modules are fitted into the red slots as can be seen in the picture. The Fenrir, with the fan equipped in a push configuration, is so wide the fan actually pushes over onto the memory module in the slot nearest to the CPU. The module sits in the slot skewed over to the right slightly. Not enough to cause a mass panic in my head, but enough to ask the following. Will moving the affected module onto the black slot furthest from the CPU affect the memory being in dual channel mode? I always assumed that you must fill the same coloured memory slots to achieve that effect, or is it some sort of aesthetic thing?

Any information would be greatly appreciated, and i apologise if i have this in the wrong forum but i primarily classed this as a mobo problem, though in reality it could go into memory and coolers too.

Thanks.
