I need to decide on a motherboard for my Intel 12700k build using pretty low profile Kingston Fury Beast memory. I already have the Deepcool Assassin III air cooler, so I'd like that to be part of the build. I was considering the Asus ROG Strix Z690-f gaming motherboard, as well as the Strix Z690-e motherboard, but a note to Asus led to their reply that the Assassin would fit neither board.
So, my top choice is the Gigabyte Aorus Pro Z690 board. But Gigabyte replied that they don't test coolers, and advised me to ask Deepcool, so no help there. Doubt that Deepcool has tried their products with the 100's of motherboards available. (I do have the LGA 1700 socket adaptor from Deepcool.) PcPartspicker has a disclaimer they haven't tried all the dimensions needed, and other sites with compatibility notes (like pangoly.com) are silent on the subject of Deepcool.
I know it's an obscrure question, but anyone have any experience or opinions about using this cooler with the Aorus Pro Z690? I'd also consider, perhaps the MSI MEG Unify board, if anyone has experience with that. Thanks in advance for your replies!
