ASUS MAXIMUS VII RANGER - New cooler needed for i7 4790k

[obsidianlycan]

Hi guys!

First post time!

I am looking to replace my stock cooler as my 4790k is overheating constantly now (not overclocked).

Antec 902 Nine Hundred Two (V3)
Asus Maximus VII Ranger
i7 4790K
Patriot Viper "Black Mamba" Generation 3 16GB (2x 89gb)

Cooler I am looking at is the Cryorig h7, but will this fit? The RAM sticks up abut 4.5cm from the motherboard.

Any help or suggestions would be great! I know this is quite an old rig, but I am a bit strapped for cash at the moment so new fan and another year or so would be amazing

It should fit perfectly fine. Your CPU is still very good though so if you go for a bigger cooler you can overclock it even further.

Thanks @bigboomboom! Any recommendations? I think I read that I will have issues fitting anything much taller than this one (145mm),

The case has a 200mm top fan so I imagine you have quite decent CPU cooler clearance. Can you measure how much you have there? This info is nowhere to be found.
