Hello,

 

I'm currently planning to build a new rig. I want to buy the Corsair 465x RGB case and install the Corsair iCUE H100i Elite Capellix in the top. (I know i could install it in the front, but I really want this Case, bc of the 3 included LL fans and although a 360mm rad in the front would look better, its a little overkill. The 240mm in the front wouldn't look that nice)

 

I'm now not sure whether the rad (and fans) will fit in the top. Is the rad going to be blocked by the RAM (Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro) or would there be enough room?

 

I also put together a list at PC Part Picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7wBpsX

(I'll buy all components new exept for the graphics card since i already have that)

 

Thank you for your help.

If anything is going to block it, it will be the VRM coolers for your motherboard. RAM clearance is really on a consideration for giant air coolers. This is because stuff like fan headers are usually even farther up on the motherboard then even overreaching RAM RGB. And as rickeo said, it is in the manual. 

Fuck you scalpers, fuck you scammers, fuck all of you jerks that charge way too much to tech-illiterate people. 

Unless I say I am speaking from experience or can confirm my expertise, assume it is an educated guess.

Current setup: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG B550, 2x8GB DDR4-3200, RX 5600 XT (+120 core, +320 Mem), 1TB WD SN550, 1TB Team MP33, 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute, 500GB Samsung 860 Evo, Corsair 4000D Airflow, 650W 80+ Gold. Razer peripherals. 

Also have a Alienware Alpha R1: i3-4170T, GTX 860M (≈ a 750 Ti). 2x4GB DDR3L-1600, Crucial MX500
