Just a quick question regarding installation of the RAM modules in my Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4: I have 2x1GB Kingston Valueram DDR2 memory which I want to run in dual channel. The manual says I should install it in either DIMM1/DIMM2 or in DIMM3/DIMM4. It says though that if there are only two modules, they suggest installing in DIMM1/DIMM2.
I have a Scythe Ninja Rev. B cooler (imported a while ago as they are not available locally, before I knew which mobo I would end up with). Due to its size, I think it will touch the RAM modules if in DIMM1/DIMM2. Is there anything detrimental to the mobo or to the speed of the system if I install the RAM in DIMM3/DIMM4 instead, to avoid the heatsink touching the modules?
Cheers,

PS. my mobo is Rev. 1.0. I am not sure if this problem occurs only in this revision or also in Rev. 1.1.
