I am planning to get an Evo Hyper 212 to go on an AsRock Z170 Extreme4. But I am not sure if the RAM I want to get is too tall and will not fit. The RAM is the G.Skill Ripjaws V and is 42mm tall. The Evo 212 shows on their website that the distance between the base of the cooler and fan is 37mm. Will the extra height provided by the height from the mother board to the top of the CPU dye be enough to accommodate the RAM? Thanks in advance.
