Just FYI don't know what the rest of your setup is but my 212 + blocks my first RAM slot but I use two 4gb sticks in the 2nd and 4th slot without issue but the cooler itself is great

Umm... The Hyper 212+ is all good, but my second recommendation would have been the Scythe Mugen 2 :bounce:

But in all seriousness though, the CM one is the one to go for mostly 'coz I find it easier to work with inside the case without the heft of the SM2 especially with multiple RAM sticks and PCIe cards, a RAID array, GPU connectors and stuff inside a mid sized cabinet.
