Will memory fit?

Go to solution Solved by LogicalDrm,

HyperX Fury will fit under the fan. G.Skill Ares, maybe RijawX too.

Hi.  New to this forum and hoping to get some good tips.  Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for good DRAM to go with my new system that I'm bulding for the first time.  I'm going with an ASUS Z97-Pro MB, Intel I7-4790K CPU, and will be using Coolmast Hyper 212 cooler.  I want to go with 16GB memory but am not sure whether I need low profile or not to fit under the cooler.  I think 1600 C9 would be good enough.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

you will be fine even with high profile, however with high profile you will need to put the fan in pull rather than push

Thanks for quick reply. Not sure if you can or want to do it, but if I wanted to stay with low profile, can you make a recommendation regarding the memory? Or should I just go with something like Corsair Vengeance? Thanks again.

G.Skill. Kingston, Corsair, Crucial all fine as well.

1600mhz is fine, if you can get higher speed with good timings for ~$20 or less extra, go for it.
