Greetings

First off sorry if i have posted this in the wrong section.

I have a question to ask that i hope you can help me with, I have searched google for an answer but cannot find one.

I am going to be building a new pc soon and i have an issuse with space.

My question is will the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler and Corsair Memory Vengeance Black 8GB (2x4GB) fit on a Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Intel Z68 Socket 1155 Motherboard?

With the double hight of the Vengeance ram and the cooling fan on the cooler having to face the ram will they both fit i am unsure of the clearence?.

Thanks for you time.

@ Jordan97

Corsair how now also release vengeance ram without the heatspreaders so i might buy 8GB of that instead.

The case,PSU,Cooler,HD,CD Drive i have picked out i will not change

The RAM,CPU,Motherboard i am not set on

OC sell a wide range of products different to the place i am using but price wise the place im using is genearly cheaper.

I am greatful for the advice given and i will definitely look into a different CPU and motherboard.

Thanks all.
