The H7 will fit any micro-ATX or ATX LGA 1150 motherboard. It's not a heavy cooler as compared to the average of higher end models like the Noctua NH-D14, D15 or U14S, or Cryorig Ultimate or Universal R1. The G1 Sniper is a full ATX board with a nice thick PC board. It will have no problem with that cooler, or any other cooler for that matter.

Thank you very much for the clear response, I was a bit worried something might interfere, first time building a PC and i'm hoping I can do it right :)

The more important factor usually in choosing a cooler is socket support, which the H7 supports LGA 1150 (H97, Z97, Z87, B81, B85) and case selection. Since the H7 is only 145mm tall, very short for a tower cooler, most cases should support it, even those that traditionally don't support tower coolers that are predominantly 159mm or taller.

What is your case model number?

Thank you, I was just initially worried If the fan would hit any of the components on the motherboard, therefore rendering it useless. But thank you, you have reassured me :)
