I have heard that this particular Cooler is bulky and can potentially cover one of the DIMM's to put extra memory in. Below are the components in question. Does anyone know if there will be an issue of missing the chance to utilize all DIMM's with these? Sorry, I'm a computer noob.

[CrossFireX] Asus P8P67 Intel P67 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ UEFI, DIGI+VRM, 7.1 HD Audio, BT GO!, GbLAN, USB 3.0, 2x SATA-III RAID, 2 Gen2 PCIe, 2 PCIe X1 & 3 PCI [B3 Stepping]

FAN: CoolerMaster V6 GT CPU Cooler (Nickle Plated Double-V Heatpipe w/ Color Changing LED Cap)

MEMORY: 4GB (2GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Module [-64] (Kingston HyperX
 
A lot of CPU coolers have the problem of being so wide, that they somewhat cover the neighboring DIMM(s). Despite this problem, most people don't find the necessity to install more than 4GB of RAM anyway, so this nuisance doesn't really become that big a deal. However, if you find yourself needing more RAM, you could simply buy a larger kit (2x4GB)
