It's big but worth it.

I had reservations about the purchase based on comments about its size. This is the largest air cooler I have ever come across and you should definitely pay attention to its dimensions before buying. It also cools very effectively under load. My case is EVGA DG-85 and the spacing is about 1.5 inches. from the top of the radiator to the side window. This body is also huge. I have an ASROCK Fatal1ty X399 motherboard and it fits great. It covers memory locations A1, A2 and C1, C2. You can't use fancy memory cards with large heat sinks or RGB lighting in these slots. Also, you will not add or change memory in these slots without first removing this heatsink. It doesn't block any PCI slot; Even if at first glance it looks like the PCI-E 1 slot is blocked, I managed to install the RTX 2080 without any problems. The gap between the back of the graphics card and the side of the cooler is about 1cm, although I didn't leave the card there because it looked too tight. Another thing to look out for when installing in a PCI-E 1 slot is the clip on the slot that secures the card. You will need a long, narrow unlocking tool to pull the card out. The RGB lighting takes over the USB 9 pin assignment on the board.
