some questions regarding the Dark Rock 3

[Maist]

At first i thought about the Noctua coolers but they are just to ugly (i know it's stupid... but there is no way i'm letting this awful looking cooler ruing my build).

i can get the Dark Rock 3 but i have some question about it:

 

1. will it work well with my build?

- Coolermaster CM690 III

- Asus z170 pro gaming

- 2x8 DDR4 2133MHz HyperX Fury 

 

2. will i be able to OC with it? 

- I7 6700k

Why not get the cryorig r1 ultimate? Its much much easier to install and looks better imho, i had one and it was simply amazing.

 

A simple search has told me your case can fit a cooler of 171mm in height, the r1 ultimate is 168 so a dark rock pro would fit.

Cant get it in my country and buying one from amazon or ebay means paying double for postage

if your ram is not high profile one, then you will be fine. It is high end cooler so you will definitely be able to OC. But everyone says that it is a pain in the pooper to install this cooler...
