Ok i need some help here regarding my issue with memory conflicting with my cpu cooler (titan fenrir) after pcs phoned me i told him to change to the "stock" ddr3 ram which would allow the cpu cooler to fit, guy said he'd have it done and get pc into testing today.
well i checked order status and it was still sitting at "in building" so i decided to phone when i got back from work, person told me that thier were no notes on the system for the ram to be changed, basically the pc has been sitting all day with nothing getting done to it" but he apologised and added the note to change ram due to space issues and he'd get the pc into testing personally.
After he had done it i checked the order online and the note had been added but hes made a mistake i think and put this--- Change to 4GB CORSAIR XMS3 DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 2GB KIT) from 4GB CORSAIR XMS3 DOMINATOR DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz - LIFETIME WARRANTY
I think its still going to be a problem, looked at pictures for it and that memory has heatfins on it to, and i wont be able to phone tomorrow until i get home at half 4. Any help clarifying this would be great.
And on a quick note i found this, linked to the titan fenrir and asus boards--

Yeah, you can. On most high end Asus 1366 boards and when using tall memory modules, if the heatsink is mounted "East-West" the fan frame will interfere with the memory, so you can also mount it "North-South" and avoid that problem.
Any way for pcs to try this and then i could stick with the original memory i ordered?? and save all the hassle?
