ASRock 960GM-VGS3 FX with 212 Evo?

[Necrogenesis]

Hi, everyone!

I have an ASRock 960GM-VGS3 FX motherboard with an FX-6300 and I want to put a 212 Evo CPU cooler. My question is if it hides one of the RAM slots (the mobo has only two of these).

Thank you in advance.

It won't fit but you can move fan a bit higher or get low profile RAM

The EVO can be rotated 90 degrees and the fan can be mounted on the front (push) or back (pull) and work just fine. Try one or both of those options.

As far as i know EVO cannot rotate 90 degrees because there is small pin which doesn't allow you to rotate heatsink but you right about push or pull configuration!
