Need some help with this

I've had my current PC for the past two years, and I'm planning for a huge upgrade with a majority of the parts. I plan to change the case to a Fractal Design Define R4, the cooler to a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 and I'm wondering: a) Will the cooler interfere with the case in any way. b) What is the ram clearance, I'm currently planning Corsair Low Profile but would I be able to get away with regular and if so what ram do you recommend?

 

Thanks for any help in advance!

Nope... The cooler is 150mm x137mm x163mm so R4`s cpu-cooler height limitation of 170mm is well within limits :-)

 

Corsair Vengeance Low Profile should have no issues under this heatsink. 

Here are some dimensions on the cooler..... now you need to compare those with measurements on dimms you are considering for your build.

 

Hope this was of some help.

Fractal Design Define R5 White/Window / Intel 4790K / EVGA Z97 FTW / EVGA G2 750W / Sapphire R9 390 Nitro  / Samsung 850 EVO 500GB / Corsair Force Series GT 240GB / Seagate Barracuda 2TB - HGST Ultrastar  4TB / 32GB Kingston HyperX Savage 2600Mhz DDR3 / Cryorig H7 Lumi Edt. /
