Hey guys,
This may be slightly off topic as I am not planning on overclocking my computer yet, but I figured this section was most appropriate for my question!
I'm building a gaming computer and I was wondering if I would have conflicts now or in the future in terms of space..
I'm planning on getting the following parts
Motherboard
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790
Fan
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler Compatible Intel Core i5 & Intel Core i7
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
-or-
GELID Solutions CC-GX7-01-A 120mm Nanoflux Bearing CPU Cooler
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835426030
My primary question is whether or not a 120mm fan will interfere with my Memory on that motherboard if I were to put 4 sticks with heat sinks on them in there.. for example..
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145347
I've read that some people have conflicts while others do not depending on this or that. Without actually having seen any of these parts personally I was hoping that someone around would be able to verify whether or not that combination of 4xMemory/CPU Fan would cause any kind of issue with one another in terms of space. If you need any more information don't hesitate to ask.
I appreciate your time, thanks!
