Memory doesn't fit well under my heatsink

[Fire-Dragon-DoL]

Hi guys, I'm buying a new computer and I've a problem, my configuration is (relevant parts):

■ASUS Rampage III Extreme - ATX - LGA-1366 - 24 GB DDR3 SDRAM - Serial ATA/600, Serial ATA/300 - 7.1 Channel ( 90-MIBC10-G0EAY00Z )
■RAM DDR3 Corsair Dominator TR3X6G1600C8D 1600MHz 6GB (3x2GB) CL8-8-8-24
■Heatsink CPU Noctua NH-D14 socket 775/1156/1366/AM2/AM2+/AM3 140mm

The problem is: my last memort doesn't fit "well" under the heatsink (they are high and the heatsink is big), I can put it a bit "oblique"... what should I do?

I'll receive my computer around monday, then I can post images too.

Any suggestion?

You should remove the two screws on the top of the offending module.
It won't effect the rams performance.

Thanks for the answer, however I need a bit of help: english is not my native language and "screw", as google states, means something like this

while i think that "screw" in this case means:

Is this what you mean? (If yes, what those things are used for?)

Should i just "cut" two of them? (knife or bare hands?)

I had a similar issue lately. In my case I modded the heatsink fins a bit, and I raised my fan high enough to clear the memory.

I have Dominator ram and the top fin array is removeable.
Actually 3 screws.

You must have a first generation ram kit.

Ah so I just have to remove those screws, seems quite easy.

What about overclocking ram (it's the ram heatsink that thing that i'm removing if i didn't misunderstand), can I still do it or it gets risky?

Removing the top fin bar will not effect the rams performance.
It will still perform as well as the other modules.
Yes you can oc.
