I just received my new custom build using a Asus z68 V-Pro. i7 -2600k, and Kingston HyperX Blue RAM with a Scythe Mugen 3 cooler. They messed up and only installed 2 x 4GB sticks (I ordered 16GB), and it doesn't look like there is room under the coolers' fan to install another stick into that slot. Has anyone had trouble with this cooler covering the RAM slots?
I am going to send it back for them to take the cooler off and install, but I am concerned about the fan touching the ram, making noise etc, because even if it will fit, it looks like there will be no clearance.
