I am having a hard time figuring out if my upcoming build would fit together.

I am going to use the following components:

  • Asus ROG Crosshair VII Hero (WiFi)
  • G.Skill Trident Z F4-3200C16D-32GTZKW
  • be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4
  • Fractal Design Meshify C

The ram height is 44mm according to: https://www.gskill.com/en/faq/DRAM_Memory

The coolers fan has 40mm clearance according to: https://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/1378 (look under the download tab for "Properties")

Because I am going to use a dual kit of 32Gb (that is 2 times 16Gb) I need to install it in DIMM B2 and A2 (slots) according to: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/SocketAM4/ROG_CROSSHAIR-VII-HERO_WI-FI/E13834_ROG_CROSSHAIR_VII_HERO_WI-FI_UM_WEB.pdf?_ga=2.77206357.1571994408.1525446276-738965691.1525446276

 

But the main question... Will it fit?
( pls no jokes about the question -__- )

It will.

 

CPU cooler will fit the Trident Z with the front fan raised to its highest position, no need to be specific on DIMM slots even (as long as they arent both in bank A or bank B, which disables dual channel).

This picture is from be quiet themselves, even.

 

At this point the front fan still didnt get taller than the top of the heatsink, which stands at 163mm. The case supports up to 172mm, which means you're good to go.

Okay, thanks, I never saw this pic on their website but I don't understand what you are saying with "no need to be specific on DIMM slots even (as long as they arent both in bank A or bank B, which disables dual channel).".
Can you explain that?

I mean one RAM can be in either DIMM_A1 or DIMM_A2, the other in either DIMM_B1 or DIMM_B2. Rather than

It just means that you can use all slots. Not just using ones furthest away from cooler.
