Corsair Memory Fans?

Hi All,

Just finished building my Core i7 920 system last night:

Asus P6T Deluxe
TRUE 120 for 1366
Noctua NF-P12 Vortex-Control Fan
Antec P182 Case
Corsair 3x2Gb DDR3 1866 PC3-14400C9 plus airflowfan

I'm intending on OC'ing this to around the 3.8 mark, and fitted everything but the air flow fan for the memory. Reason being is that if I do fit the air flow fan for the memory it sits touching the Noctua Fan for the TRUE heatsink and overlaps the fan for around 1.5 inches which will obviously impact the air flow for the CPU fan.

Would putting the Noctua Fan on the other side of the TRUE be as effective if it was pulling instead of pushing, giving more room for the memory air flow fans, or should I just not bother with the Air Flow fans at all and leave it as is.

Leave it as it and see how hot the RAM gets I'm running DDR3 1600 @ 2000 and I don't need a fan, even with all 6 slots filled with 12GB of the stuff
