Does the NZXT Kraken x62 block the first memory slot on all motherboards?

What motherboard did you use in the end?

I'm myself am planning a new PC, and i want the x62 and a ASUS ROG STRIX Z270H, but know i'm not sure if it is a good fit :S

I want the AIO to face the right way, and i don't want it blocking my RAM.

I stuck with X99 and got the ROG edition 10 fits ok on this board

I made a build last week with the kraken X52 as cpu cooler and unfortunately it blocked my first slot ram, using the RGB Trident Z and an Asus Strix Z270F. I never imagined this could happen, a bit disappointed on NZXT not thinking about this eventhough it looks amazing.

Using a low height ram would fit without problems i guess.

Hi! I know this is old but I was wondering if you or anyone would know if the x62 would fit on the new Aorus Gaming 7 z370 without blocking the ram slots. It looks like it fits in the Gaming 7 Z270, do you think the space between ram in cpu is the same? Thanks in advance.

My kraken x62 blocks one of my memory slots on my MSI Gaming Pro Carbon AC Z370 MB.

Okay guys, i have got some news :

i have an asus prime-p x570 with corsair rgb pro rams, and i saw the pump blocking the ram slot, as in the previous photos (the pump was on the slot so it was impossible to place the ram). But I recently went to a person who managed to place the 4 rams with the nzxt kraken, so I tried to place my 4th ram, I pushed the pumps a little bit and I placed the ram.
Guess what?
Everything went well, I have my 4 rams, and there is nothing to report about the pumps.
