I have an ASUS Prime X370-Pro and Crucial Ballistix Sport LT memory. Since I'm still using the stock cooler I want to get a new be quiet! cooler (most of them are 25% off right now). Will the Dark Rock 3 (about 43€) or the Shadow Rock 2 (about 32€) fit without causing problems because of the height of the RAM? And which cooler would you recommend? The CPU is a R5 1600.

I'm using a Be Quit Dark Rock 3, with Tridentz memory.

My memory falls just below the cooler (on an MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon, even if that doesn't even matter). My memory is 44mm tall, your Crucial Ballistix Sport memory.... I can't find physical memory sizes for. If it's 44mm or below, it would fit. I would guesstimate that 47mm or taller wouldn't fit.

If you have the memory, you can take out a stick and physically measure it.
