so i finally got all my parts here for the i7 3820. which include asus p9x79 mobo 8gb of rip jaw ram and the silver arrow cooler. however since the silver arrow cooler is GIGANTIC it hits one of the 4 ram sticks in the first dimm. the motherboard has 8 dimms for ram im only using 4. pairing all the odd slots (2 on each side of the proccessor) but the push fan hits...even without ram in the slots it covers 3 dimms. what should i do...would it be acceptable to move all the ram into the dimms on the other side of the cooler??
