I'm building my first serious gaming PC and I would like to know if my RAM, CPU Cooler, and MoBo are compatible.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB LED
Cooler: Hyper 212X Dual
120MM Fan
Motherboard: ROG MAXIMUS X HERO

Also if you could explain how to check for the compatibility for future reference I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

While the actual distance between the DIMM slot and the CPU socket can vary between MB, the 212X can intrude on the 1st DIMM slot in a number of MBs, so because there's just ~37mm from the MB to the fin and the fan reaches a few millimeters below that, so be prepared for either:

a> leave out one of the two fan.
b> switch to low profile RAM or be prepared for possibility of not being able to use all RAM slots.
c> switch to other cooler with better RAM clearance like Cryorig H7 or Scythe Mugen 5.
