ASUS P6T Deluxe, 212 evo, vengeance combo

[qcio]

So, I ordered 212 EVO and realized my ram sticks might get in the way and here's my question:

If Vengeance will block EVO, can I move them to different dimms? I got them in dual channel (2x 4GB) and manual recommends putting them in A1 and B1, but if A1 blocked EVO, id be forced to remove it, so im wondering if i could put the ram stick in C1, which would make it B1 C1 instead of A1 B1.

I guess it is possible, but the question is - will i get the same performance?

Your description is confusing but I assume that the motive is to place the sticks in slots that are furthest from the CPU socket. Most motherboards these days are at least dual channel so placing them in closed pairs instead of placing them separately based on color, orientation, etc will negate dual channel and revert back to single channel.

I don't know how tall your sticks would be but the CM Hyper212 Evo ain't that big and the fan bracket allows you to adjust to give the sticks some clearance, assuming that you didn't get those insanely tall ones.

You could always put the fan in PULL configuration, instead of the default PUSH configuration, at the cost of ~2C higher temps.

A2 is closest to the CPU socket, but even in that case you can still put them in C1 and B1 to get dual channel. You would only need A1 if you wanted the full triple channel.
