Need a Heat Sink and Fan that clears Corsair vengeance

Thread Starter 
I am sure it is a repost but I was hoping to get some photographic evidence before I make a purchase on my current build. I was thinking about getting the cooler master hyper 212+ and an extra fan for a push/pull set up. However I have corsair vengeance in slots 2 and 4 and want to make sure the heat sink clears the ram. I've heard the 212+ can raise the fan by clipping it in and out but have never seen a picture of it, can anyone help me out?

Currently I have:
NZXT Phantom
Core i7 3770k
Asus P8Z77-V Pro
Corsair Vengeance Ram high profile
Corsair HX-850 power supply
LG CD/DVD drive

Left to purchase:
Heatsing/Fan
Video Card
HDD/SSD

Why don't you get an H50,H60 or H70 it will work much better than a 212 and you wont have any clearance issues, it cost a few more bucks but you have a nice rig going already!

Take the heatsink off of Vengeance. They are only cosmetic anyway.

Can't stress this enough, only reason I got the Vengeance low profiles was the looks. As long as you have decent airflow in your case they're not needed, short of extreme OCing.
