Question I'm at loss, cpu cooler clearance for my ram.

[ardhika]

Hello there, I'm planning to upgrade to 5800x3D in a week but I'm still struggling to find the best cpu cooler that suits to my rig, currently I'm using G.Skill Trident Z RGB in a second and fourth slot. I received mixed opinions as to whether Deepcool AK620 will fit or not. I have several other choices such Noctua NH-U12S Redux and Arctic Freezer 34 esport Duo but I'm not sure whether they're adequate for the cpu I'm going to use.

*I dont have thermalright peerless assassin sold in my country, or I can go with bequiet dark rock pro 4 as well.

DeepCool AK620 Review

DeepCool looks to assert dominance with its latest dual-tower air cooler, the AK620. Featuring an accommodating height of just 160 mm, it fits where other large coolers won't—all while packing serious performance with clean and stylish looks.

According to TPU, there's clearance for dimms UP TO 43mm tall. For dimms past that, the front fan should be raised up for each millimeter, but that increases the total height of the cooler, so check your case clearance spec.

That ram kit is 44mm tall, so the front fan needs to be raised a millimeter or 2.

Yes, that's what I meant. A 160mm tall cooler becomes 161-162mm tall with the current ram kit.
