Hello. I'm looking to replace my stock cooler with a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO. I've been trying to see if it will fit but can't figure it out. I'm worried about the RAM getting in the way of the fan because they are quite tall RAM modules with heatsinks. Plus the RAM slots on the motherboard might be too close to the CPU for it to fit?

My relevant specs are as follows:
Asus Z87-PRO 1150 motherboard,
i7 4770 cpu,
Corsair CMY16GX3M2A1600C9R Vengeance Pro 16gb (2x8gb) RAM (installed in further away DIMM slot, as in the closest DIMM slot to CPU is free).
ZALMAN Z11 PLUS case,
Planned cpu cooler is Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO.

Thank you for any help.

Thank you very much for your help.

The reason why I'm looking at the TX3 EVO is because it does not require the need of having to remove the motherboard to attach a blackplate. I think both of the coolers you linked need backplates installed? I am not confident in my building ability to do that. I'm already a little nervous about pulling out my stock cooler as I've read many horror stories about the cooler being stuck on very tightly with the thermal paste.
