Hello! I've been thinking about getting a 212 Evo for my future build, to cool an i5 6600k (Wont do a crazy OC), but I have some questions.
- Will it interfere with G.Skill TridentZ RAM modules?
- I've heard that the Cryorig H7 is a better option, but unfortunately, I cant get it in my country, with that said, is the 212 a good option?

Thanks :)

The ram clearance is 37mm if your ram will sit right under the cooler/cooler fan. Otherwise it is unlimited clearance. Check your motherboard how much further is the ram from the cpu socket.

The cooler itself shouldn't interfere with the RAM. However you might find that you have to attach the fan after you have the cooler mounted. Worst case scenario (worst case Ontario TPB), you have to put the fan on the back of the cooler in a pull configuration.
