Compatibility between Phanteks Mini ITX case, h100i V2 and Corsair Dominator Platinum

[RodoGodo19]

Hi,

Components:

1. Phanteks Mini ITX case
2. Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
3. Corsair Dominator Platinum
4. Corsair H100i V2

I have Vengeance LPX which is Low Profile, but the Dominator Platinum is taller. Will I have any issues with these things?.

The Radiator with the fans installed will fit perfectly inside the case using those memories?.






Photos that I found on pcpartpicker using the same board and cpu cooler but I can not see exactly the free space.

Help please

I want to know if these memories will fit or I need to buy a Low Profile ones.

a corsair block is in NO way going to effect RAM. I have installed 3, or 4 of em, and they are designed to be as low impact as possible.You can see from the picks its the Same size as the socket brace. your good. The tubing will need to be routed properly , but the block wont bother RAM. and if its the Fans your concerned about, You could go with Thin profile ones, but I dont thing anyone aside from someone who Owns that exact setup could answer for Certain your question if its the fan/RAD clearence
issue solved.

and noi didnt read the post, i just became mesmerized with the lights

*PS* the top "arm" on those RAM's is removeable iirc. worst case this could be addressed once you go to install.

I want someone to confirm me that because I want to buy a dominator platinum but i don't if it will fit fine inside of the case using the AIO

yeah, i hear what your saying , and i certainly understand your concern.
But I think that with ANY build, there is some amount of uncertainty , and this situation is no different.
I personally have been into PC's for longer than I care to mention, and I would say with 99% certainty , that your fine to buy your chosen parts.
Looking @ the images, the 120mm fans in that case Start @ the level of the motherboard, and that RAM, or any other is Certainly not 4 inches(120mm) tall, so my opinion is that your good to go, and purchase the parts.
but if it makes you feel more comfortable , wait to see if anyone else can offer some advice, maybe i missed something, but it looks fine from where i am sitting.

Won't fit. either one fan will be in the way, or ram in the way, take your pick.

maybe you can pull the metal bar off of the top of the memory and it fits, but I am not sure.

are you sure?.
I have the case right here, If i use two fans to think that i have the radiator above, i can measure it ,, right?.

Can you? Including the motherboard?

Well I have the case, Vengeance LPX and a Asus b150i mini itx motherboard.
I can do like a quick test with two fans one above the other or something like that, i don't know.

 

[jboydgolfer]

They should fit, and yes @cadaveca the tops of that ram can be removed.ive seen it done for an led mod

if you have the Case, and the moBo, You are all set.As toothless said, just measure it, and
as long as You have 2.15 inches(the height of that RAM) of space, your clear.

I know the tops can be removed. I am not sure removing them will provide the needed clearance. Their product page quotes my review of the DDR3 models. SMH.

probably.

I don't want to remove the top because it look nice to me.
I just want to be sure before buying that memory.

I totally understand where you are coming from. Although, fi you were buying that ram from a local retailer, you could probably return it if it didn't fit easily enough. I'm using an H90 right now on a 6700K, and don't need more cooling, so I can safely say that that cooler is overkill, and you could probably get away with not having that fan there if it was a problem, but I'm not sure that the memory will clear the rad as well. It's hard to tell.

 

[jboydgolfer]

^^ that(op's post above) , i figured the Top is the whole point to that RAM. it doesnt have any difference in performance over any other RAM, its a matter of esthetics with those sticks.

But, to each His/Her own.
and yeah, You'll be able to return it no matter where You buy it, unless its some sketchy place with a disclaimer about No returns, or its from a "used" , or private seller.

anyway, this matter has been resolved.
it Should look nice OP, you'll be fine.regards

Solved, I have found a video of a guy that has a Dual radiator with fans and Dominator Platinum and it will fit perfectly.

See it here:

I'm from Dominican republic, out of US so return the memories will be expensive for me.

Thanks for linking the video! Now I can say yes, provided you are using the same motherboard! (I think you are)

I will use a different motherboard but i think it doesn't matter.

asus Z170i pro gaming

Yeah, there isn't a lot of room for DIMM slots on these boards, might be a few mm difference, at most.
