Question ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac + NZXT Kraken X52 -- RAM clearance

[Eurt_apatea]

Hi all,

Does anybody use the following combo: ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming-ITX/ac + NZXT Kraken X52? I really interested how well the Kraken's pomp fits; and will I be able to install my RAM kit without turning the pomp right/left. I cannot find any videos/photos and even same questions about that, which is curious, as this is the most popular AIO paired with one of the most popular ITX mobo nowdays :{ I only found a single YT comment months ago that was like: "you may have problems installing RAM on this mobo with some AIOs". That's all.

Judging by some of these pics it should be fine clearance wise.

Thanks, but this may be a mobo-specific issue. Also, the mobo you mentioned is an ATX mobo, which will be absolutely fine with any RAM heatsinks.

Yes but the RAM spacing from the socket seems to be the same and the cooler tubs only stick out maybe 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch past the mounting plate. The only real way is to mount it and see what happens.
