Asus Crosshair VI Hero + Dark Rock 3 RAM clearance?

I'm wondering how much the Dark Rock 3 cpu cooler blocks the RAM sticks on the Asus Crosshair VI Hero. Also can you mount the fan at the rear (in pull) or is it blocked by the VRM/something else? I'm asking because I want to use G.Skill TridentZ for my build but I'm not sure if they will fit. Maybe someone who has the motherboard and the cooler can answer my questions.

I have Dark Rock Pro 2 and I was able to fit 4cm tall RAM under it (very tight fit).

Seems like the Dark Rock 3 has about the same clearance.

Does the VRM or anything else on the board prevent you from installing the fan in a pull config?
