So I have most of my build together and just need a case and a CPU cooler.

Anyway, I don't know if my CPU cooler is small enough for my RAM.

I can't find anything on the size of the Dark Rock Pro 3 (CPU cooler I want to get.)

 

I am using the Gigabyte Z270MX-Gaming 5 motherboard and 16gb of Cosair RGB memory.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Be Quiet! has the size of the cooler listed in the heatsink dimensions area of the specifications list.

I can tell you my Dark Rock 3 (non Pro) fits just over my TridentZ memory, just to give you a point of reference.

You will need low profile ram for the dark rock pro 3 cooler. Luke actually had an issue with ram clearance with the same cooler in one of the build videos they did. I think it was his personal rig update if you want to see the video.

http://www.bequiet.com/volumes/PDM/_products/bk019/bk019_dim_en.pdf shows that there is just under 35mm clearance for memory modules. Corsair Vengeance LED are 49mm tall.

 

If you want to use the Dark Rock Pro 3 cpu cooler, you'll need something like Corsair LPX memory modules. The other option would be to use a more memory friendly cpu cooler.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
