Can I use all this components together?! CPU COOLER + RAM

[MbrunoA]

Hello, I'm Bruno. I wanted to know if I can assemble my computer with this components... Thanks!

CPU Intel I7 4790K
Mother Asus Maximus VII Hero
PSU Corsair RM850w 80Plus Gold
NZXT Switch 810
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1Tb Sata3

Well... here's the point... I want to use a Thermalright Silver Arrow IE-E Extreme and I don't know if it will fit with the RAM. I think that all I need is a low-profile one... What if I install the shorter side on the ram?

Can I use it with GSkill Ripjaws X (2x8Gb 1600Mhz)? At first I wanted Corsair Vengeance but I don't think the will fit.

probably not, the g.skill ram also has tall heat sinks (like the corsair one), so it will probably be not compatible.

You can always use the secondary memory slots if they don't fit. I had to do that because of how I mounted my cooler. Of course if you ever want to upgrade to 16GB of ram, it would cause a problem. I figure by the time I'll want or need 16GB, I'll be looking for 2X8GB kits anyway so I know for sure everything will play nice together.

Thanks... so I might had to use the secord and fourth slot? Look this pictures...

Correct. No need for pictures. They're normally color coded. If they're not, the MB manufacturers site should have a guide. Or the owners manual will list what's what,

Very much welcome.

Very much welcome.

I was reading again and I stop right there where said "Of course if you ever want to upgrade to 16GB of ram..." That's what I want... 16Gb of Ram in a dual channel... 2x8Gb...

No. That will be fine. Only 4X4GB would be an issue. Didn't realize you were already getting 16GB.
