I want to get a Noctua NH-U12P (http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=12931) but looking at my set up I'm not sure if it will fit...

The motherboard is an asus crosshair iii formula and the way it is set out, the ram slots are pretty close to the cpu and the ram I'm using is higher than normal because of the heatsinks it came with (CMD4GX3M2A1600C8).

Check out the pics and tell me if you think I'll be able to squeeze it in if I ended up filling all the ram slots...

Also, will I be able to set up the cpu cooler in any orientation? I would prefer the air to be blown toward the back of the case like in this pic Noctua nh-u12p image by not_so_hard on Photobucket
 
Is it alright to use the thermal paste it comes with or better off getting something else?..
