memory combatibility

do you guys think i should go with a bigger heatsink with low profile ram for an overclocked i7 4790k or a smaller heatsink with higher profile ram, does it matter?

Thank you!

Bigger, cooler.

Ram heatsink size/height doesn't matter, so just go low, and big CPU heatsink

yeah heatspreaders on ram do not matter as much as your cpu cooler does

So how does low profile corsair vengeance ram plus a large cryorig h5 sound?

Sounds like a good idea

 

Make sure the cpu cooler doesn't conflict with anything else on the motherboard you want, though, like mosfet heatsinks and the like.

Will it interfere with anything on this board? I think if i have the fan over the ram it should be ok but what do you think?

Oooh, ah, that heatsink above the socket... it *might* be ok, but I would advise you to try looking up pictures and videos of people building systems with that exact motherboard to get a better feel for whether there'll be room.

FWIW you should have no clearance issues with that board. The big honking Noctua and Phanteks multi towers *might* have some issues, but anything smaller than those and you'll be fine.
