Solve : RAM clearance?

Answer»

Hello friends

I was just wondering if I would have enough clearance room for the CPU cooler and the RAM.

I wanted a be quiet dark rock pro 4 CPU cooler and corsair dominator platinum ram. I was thinking to use all four dim slots. This is not in stone and I wanted this setup for the look.

Thanks for the help If you buy your parts from a store that allows returns, you can go the route of buying and trying, and returning what has conflicting spatial relation. Or look at the data sheets/specs for each part and do the math to see if it will clear or not. Additionally some RAM is AVAILABLE in slim half height sticks that would definitely clear, but its usually for example like the Crucial Ballistix Sport Low Profile Memory that you need to go with which isn't all cool looking with gaming high performance RAM heat spreaders.

I BOUGHT Crucial Ballistix Sport Low Profile RAM for one of my SYSTEMS that the location the motherboard was in a MATX case had the tail end of a hard drive conflicting with full height RAM in the Rosewill case. No complaints with this RAM, games just fine with the FX-8350 8 core processor and GTX 780 Ti video card. ( Although I had to cut a section of the internal mATX case to remove tin where the case supported 3 hard DRIVES to remove 1 of the hard drive bays and allow for the long video card to clear inside. )I have seen people using be quiet dark rock pro 4 CPU cooler with some fancy looking rams and they had no issues. Hopefully Corsair Platinum will fit also, if it doesn't you can always return the product.
