Cryorig r1 ultimate compatibility

[sophienfb]

Will the r1 ultimate be fine to use with an Asus Maximus X Hero motherboard and 2x16 GB corsair dd4 3000 ram ? also will it be fine for cooling an intel it 8700 processor ? thanks

First of all, excellent cooler choice. My personal favorite. Dont forget to check out the custom color schemes, in case you are interested... http://www.cryorig.com/customod_r1.php

Second, it is fine with any board. The real question is, will it fit the case? It is one of the best but also one of the tallest coolers out there, so most cases other than full-towers have clearance issues. Make sure you have a compatible case.

Finally, coming to the RAM, although you can push up the front fan alignment a bit, unless you have Corsair LPX(low profile) kit, you should recheck the module heights.
