Help with cooler

[Tsaberovski]

Hello,

recently i upgraded to a skylake build and want to switch from air cooling to liquid cooling, i set my eyes on the new NZXT kraken x52 and i wonder will it fit on a Maximus VIII formula with full ram slots(2x 2x8gb corsair vengeance led) and i want to also get their new aer rgb fans, so my next question is can a hue+ support 5 fans(3x120mm and 2x140mm) and their LED strip that comes with it, do i need to buy any aditional hardware to make full use of the CAM software to make that all work(controlling the fans and the RGB options). Thank you in advance.

What case?

[Tsaberovski]

The case is a 760t from corsair

Kraken X52, X62, and X61 can be mounted in the 760T case. AIO coolers do not tend to have issues with memory modules.

Thank you for the info Brob, do you have any experience with the second question up there, regarding chaining the fans and the strip to a hue+?

No experience, can't help on that subject.

So the x52 shouldnt have any interference with the ram, i was worried that the right side where the tubes come from the pump could be really close to the sticks.

It can be tight with the ports on the memory side, but shouldn't be a problem. One should be able to rotate the unit as the Intel mount is symmetrical.
