Will a CM Hyper 212 Evo on a ASRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen3 Mobo cover up two memory slots? I already have the CM Hyper 212 Evo and I am worried that if I put it on my Mobo, it will cover up too much memory slots.

I just set the same thing up as long as you don,t have large heatsinks on ram you'll be fine the fan on push pull system covers a very very small section, simply remove the fan closest to RAM slots on cooler and then install ram and put fan back on. Cake GL. :)

I have the G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB). Those have big heatsinks on them. I heard that you can raise the fan up a little bit so you can put them on there, is that true? If I raise the fan up, will it make my CM Hyper 212 Evo a little hotter?

I just setup this combo. Move the memory to the 2nd and 4th slots (instead of the 1st and 3rd) and everything will fit fine. That way you can keep the entire fan on the CM 212 and not lose any cooling benefit.
