Will the high profile corsair vengeance fit on an asus z87 pro board with a cooler master hyper 212 evo CPU cooler? Looking at ram options right now and the high profile just went on sale, but I'm afraid to pull the trigger and have it not fit. I want to run the evo in a push setup.

Hopefully i'm not the only one to try this. Searched for a while, but didn't find a definitive answer.

To anyone trying to figure this out, I finally found the answer after much searching. The hyper 212 evo supports ram up to 37mm apparently. G.skill ripjaws X are 40mm and the vengeance sticks are much more than that. Vengeance won't work, but the ripjaws can be made to clear if you just move the fan up slightly on the heatsink. From a pic I found, ripjaws fit with clearance with the Noctua D14 as well.
