I'm new to building a pc and I've recently picked out my parts
- Intel i7 6700k
- ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA
- Cooler Master HYPER 212 EVO
- G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin
I would like to know if my parts would fit dimension-wise, I've already checked their compatibility. I just not sure if my Cooler Master HYPER 212 EVO will fit if the G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin is installed on my motherboard.
Thank you.

It should fit, the fan on the 212 evo really only interferes some with the ram slot closest to the cpu socket. Otherwise if the cryorig h7 is available, it offers 0 ram conflict by using offset heat pipes. If looking to really overclock at all you may want a better/larger cooler with better cooling. The 212 evo is good for what it is, offers good cooling for the price. "For the price" being the operative words, it's still only a 180w tdp cooler at the budget end. It's not junk but don't expect miracles either.

Also, would it be better to just use a liquid cooling system instead of the Cooler Master HYPER 212 EVO?
