Will my CPU cooler fit the mobo and case?

I've just bought the Artic 34 duo esports CPU cooler, but I want to be certain that it fits my new case and motherboard. I've tried to find out myself online but still none the wiser.

It will fit with nearly 1cm of room to side panel.

Alpenfohn Brocken 3 at £30 discount would have been superior cooler for lower price that ga(y)ming hype version of £21 cooler...

I'm particularly concerned with the RAM slots as they're very close to the CPU.

I bought the Artic34 based on reviews from OC members.

RAM is very tight fit if you have four DIMMs.

Yikes. Hopefully itll be okay.

I use the Arctic 34 duo on a b550m mortar WiFi, it looks like the first ram slot is clear but it's close

Perfect - this is what I wanted to hear. I only have 2 sticks of ram so should be okay.
