I just bought:
Core i5 2500K cpu
MSI P67A-GD65 mobo
Corsair Vengenace RAM 8GB (4GBx2)
Corsair 600T case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139003
Cooler Master Hyper 212+ heatsink: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065&Tpk=cool%20master%20212
My problem is the RAM is in the way of the Hyper 212 fan. I can move the fan to the other side of the heat sink (pushing air into the case rather than out) but would this change in airflow have a negitive on the case's temperature? The case itself has two 200mm fans (front and top) and one 120mm (back) which should keep air flowing. Would I be better off ditch the 212 and going with Intel's stock cpu fan?
FYI...according the the MSI mobo user guide I can't move the RAM w/o a drop in proformance so this in not an option.
