I have picked out this Ram for my new build: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231538

I was wondering if the RAM will conflict with the placement of my Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler. I am going to use the ASUS z87 PRO motherboard.

I did a build a few months ago with an ASUS P8Z77-V PRO (older version) and the same Hyper 212 EVO, with G. Skill Ripjaws Ram, this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314

That combination of RAM, Motherboard, and Heatsink gave me no problems on my last build, but is the new RAM larger in size/motherboard have less space between the RAM slots?
 
Solution
I think you'll be fine. Usually when people install higher profile RAM with a Hyper 212 they can just shift the fan/fans up slightly to make room.

Good luck!
