Will an Evo 212 cooler overlap with the memory slots with just one fan installed?

No problem with the Evo 212 CPU cooler even with two fans installed on the cooler. HOWEVER, there is NOT sufficient clearance to install DIMM coolers! The DIMM coolers that came with my 128GB Corsair package are sitting idle.

Is it possible to install a windows server 2012 r2 or above with this motherboard?, i know drivers don't officially support server windows os

I'm not aware of how to do it or if it's possible ..... Check with Toms Hardware or PC Magazine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will the M.2 have full 32gb bandwidth with a 28 lane cpu or will it switch over to sata?

It will depend on the CPU you install. Your CPU must also support full PCIe multi lane architecture. The Haswell Socket 2011 i7 5930 I used fully supports it and Crystal Mark shows nearly 500+ MB/s consistently Using this M2 drive -- SAMSUNG 950 PRO M.2 2280 256GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-V5P256BW
