Hello , I wanted to know if there was any way to tell if my cooler would fit on my mobo with my ram choice.

Phanteks PH-TC12DX_BK 68.5 CFM CPU Cooler
MSI Z170A GAMING PRO CARBON ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Looking at the ram I think they may be too tall to fit, or do i need to go with the LP ram.
does anyone know or know where I can find out?

thank you !

You looking at the really tall stuff with lights on it? I just built with GSkill TridentZ and a Phanteks PH TC14PE on a Gigabyte board and didn't have any trouble with it fitting. Just guessing I would think it would fit as that's a smaller cooler than I've got. It really depends on the motherboard but as an educated guess I would say I'm about 90% sure it would work. You can adjust the fan on the cooler for even more clearance if necessary.

WOW... Thank you for pointing that out. I did not realize that they had lights on them.. I will find something else.
Thank you again.
 
I was surprised by how much clearance I actually had with my TC 14PE and TridentZ modules.
