It should be fine, the lpx are corsair's low profile vengeance ram sticks. They're about as short as you can go for ram. The only other thing to consider is the offset of the heatpipes angled (usually) toward the back of the case.

There's a ram stick that fits there and if you look close you'll see they started with the second slot beyond the heat pipes.
