Vengeance Low Profile (Red) Compatibility Question

[JChaos]

Hi guys so here's my build below and I only need to buy the memory which I'm going to buy next and I looked at the Qualified Vendor List at the Asus website and used the product configurator here on the Corsair website and my selected Vengeance Low Profile memory doesn't show up on neither of the supported lists on either site. I'm wondering if this memory kit (Need it to be red to match my build theme red/black)

would work with my new Asus Maximus VI Formula z87 Motherboard. I'm looking for 16 GB (2x8gb) kits as I want to be able to have the option to maxing out to 32 GB later on if I want to. Looking at Low Profile Memory because its what guarantees to me that it'll fit under the PhAntecs TC12DX CPU Cooler. This is the rest of the build below:

 

Case-Corsair 600t Black (Original with Mesh Side Panel CC600TM)

CPU Cooler-PhAntecs TC12DX Red

MOBO-Asus Maximus VI Formula

RAM-?????????????????? (What I'm needing confirmation on)

GPU-MSI Gaming Geforce GTX 780

Storage-Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD (Boot Drive)

Western Digital Black 2 TB HDD (Storage Drive)

Sound Card-Creative Labs Soundblaster Z

PSU-Corsair AX860 Platinum

Anybody???? Also I was browsing around and found that the Corsair Vengeance Pro mainly these:

would look good on my Maximus VI Formula board and might work with my board. So would these memory modules be compatible? Also if I were to buy 2 kits to max out my board to 32 GB would they fit underneath a Phanteks TC12DX CPU Cooler?

I know I don't need 32 GB but I would just want to know just in case I ever do want to in the future :biggrin: Thx...

Either the LP or the Pro's would be compatible and should work just fine with that MB/CPU.

 

out of the two I would go for the Pro versions since they have been optimized for the Haswell boards.

Ok thanks that's what I had read that the Pro's were compatible with the Haswell boards. Last question though, would 4 sticks of the Vengeance Pro's fit underneath my Phanteks TC12DX CPU Cooler? Would their be enough clearance between the 1st Dimm Slot and the Coolers fans or would they make contact with each other.

 

I haven't been able to find anyone with pictures/proof of a build using the same Mobo/CPU Cooler/Memory configuration so I've had to come and find out for sure here at the Corsair forums. If so it would be awesome. I know the Vengeance Pro's are a bit smaller height wise compared to regular Vengeance memory modules and slightly larger than Low Profile modules.

No problem! But unless another user has had experience with this specific combo, I would have no clue.

 

The dimensions of the modules are posted on their product description page. You might take those dimensions to Phanteks forums or tech support to see what the dimensions of the cooler are and how much clearance you have.. They would have a better idea than we would. Sorry, I wish I had some better information for you!
