Hey, I'm just looking for some advice in case anyone may already have had or still running this combo.

Basically I currently have a Asus ROG Strix B450-F Motherboard with Team Group 8Pack Ripped Edition Memory and current for my CPU I'm just using the stock cooler Wraith Prism Cooler, It's done a well enough job so far but I don't really like my CPU being 70+, I know this is fine but still, I'd like it lower. I want to upgrade the cooler to the Dark Rock Pro 4, obviously from the title. My question is, because the memory is rather tall sitting, would the cooler catch it or will there be enough clearance that it shouldn't be an issue, I notice that one side of the cooler is higher and I assume it's for tall sitting memory but the 8Pack Ripped memory seems a little taller than most.

You don't need to go for such an elaborate cooler. If you like BeQuiet products here is what the Dark Rock 4 would be like on the B450-F: https://i.imgur.com/my5AmPQ.png

G. Skill Neo is 43mm and the 8Pack is slightly taller. You would probably have to remove the top heatspreader to fit it under (making the ram 38 mm iirc).

The Dark Rock 4 won't have these issues (as the pictures) and is more than enough cooling.

Just done a little digging and the memory is apparently 45.6mm(approx). I have found this and that memory is apparently 44mm and looking at that picture, there may be a little wiggle room for the 1.6mm extra i would need. Hmmmmm
