Air flow Problem/Question?

[brianpocock]

I'm in the middle of a new build and I have come accross a snag.

I have the corsair dominator 4GB PC2-8500C5 kit and installed the fan but when I went to install my HSF (Arctic cooling freezer 7 pro) I realised that the fan on it would be right up against the cooling for the dominator RAM. Below is a picture of it in terible quality due to my nice camera breaking so having to use my camera phone.

What do you think, will it be ok or should I take off the dominator fan, and is it ok without the fan?

Thanks Chaps

P.S excuse the mess, its getting cable brading later on

yeah I couldnt get a photo from that angle, it blocks the bottom part of the fan below the motor but the dominator fan sits high above the ram so some air can flow beneath it.

fair enougth thats what i'm thinking, i dont think the ram will overheat and die without it.
