Will Cryorig R1 ultimate interfere with RAM too much?

TheNewGeek420 · Mar 25, 2015

So I am getting Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM (16 GB) and a Asus ROG Maxiimus VII Hero mobo, along with an NZXT Phantom 630 case. As for a cooler, I am getting a Cryorig R1 Ultimate. Will it all fit, and will the cooler interfere with my RAM, and if it does, will it be too much

Unfortunately I think you have a problem. Several places say the vengeance pro ram is 44mm tall and the max ram height the r1 ultimate will fit with is 35mm. So yes you'll have ram fitment problems with that cooler. Corsair also makes low profile ram in the vengeance line. With larger air coolers, all these ram variations with super tall heat spreaders aren't working out well. No real reason for it other than looks and often times they get in the way. It would be nice if more companies went the same route as g.skill did with their trident ram where the excessively tall heat spreader can be removed by unscrewing a couple of small screws reverting it back to 'low' (or standard) height ram.

Oh and a quick question? How big is the g skill ripjaw tridentx RAM when the heatsinks are removed?

synphul · Mar 26, 2015

The trident x are still 39mm without the top fin (54mm with top fin in place). The crucial ballistix sport is 25.5mm, their ultra low profile are 18.75mm tall, g.skill ares are 32mm, team vulcan low profile are 31mm.
