Hi,

I don't think heatsinks will be a problem here, since almost all motherboards' heatsinks are no taller than ports on the back so in my opinion this should fit. I'd rather think that you might not be able to use all RAM slots.
I suggest you either ask seller, MSI or BeQuiet about this as we have no exact measurements of each thing.

Hi thanks for you answer, i will only need 2 rams any way why am i not able to ad links here or attach pictures?
becouse i have a link for the cooler with all the size on.

For images see >>Forum Features<<

2 RAM sticks are meant to be used in slots #1 and #3 or #2 and #4 (not sure, manual tells exactly which ones) for stable and correct usage. And #1+#2 might be covered by the cooler, so either way you might not be able to use default RAM slots.

this is the type of ram i like to use: Kingstone HyperX Fury DDR3 1600MHz 16GB ?

i think i successfully added the link, does it work?

 

[Nichrome]

Yeah link works fine.
In my opinion cooler should fit, but as said, we have no measurements for motherboard now.


RAM doesn't matter as you will be only able to use 2-3 RAM slots, unless you go for low profile (without a heatsink).

thanks i will only use 2x8gb rams anyway, and the height should fit

It should be fine, its the same as the non-pro, just wider. I'm sure the pro mounts the same way as the non pro Dark Rock 3 too, so watch the bracket for touching one of the caps to the left of the cpu socket. It comes really close to the bracket (like less than a mm.)
