I have some compatibility problem about MSI X99A godlike gaming

[frenzy_bomber]

Hi everyone,

I have some compatibility problem. My motherboard is MSI X99A godlike gaming, and I would buy air CPU coolers, maybe "Cryorig R1 Ultimate" or "Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT".
But their website doesn't have information about X99 motherboard compatibility. Can someone tell me are they extending over the first PCI-E?

Thanks.

As long as the cooler will physically fit the socket it should work. As for covering the top PCI-E slot, the Thermalright might depending on the orientation. The Cryorig should work. I found some pic's of it on an X99 board and it's close to the top slot but it shouldn't cover it. Also I believe the R1 Ultimate is better than the Thermalright anyways.
