Phanteks and Asus Rampage IV Formula

[Freedom]

Just wondering, does anyone know if the Phanteks fits on a Rampage IV Formula + a dual slot GPU below it without trouble?

Cheers

usually if your gonna buy a board with the rampage brand you dont cover it up with a huge heatsink, so yeah.... and I'm sure it fits

There's so little to find about the Formula on the net, it's usually reviews without pic's of the mobo inside a case with a heatsink on. 3/4 of results lead to the extreme version even if you search for formula. Anyway's ive seen that it's possible with the Extreme version so guess its possible with the Formula, unless theres a difference in the distance between CPU socket and first pci-e lane

Yes it will, unless you have a gpu with some sort of bit ontop, like the 7970 lighting card with the iron-man gismo on top

The metal fan clips short out on the back of the GPU if you run it in the top slot. You have to insulate the clips or run the GPU in a lower slot.

Pic of it in this article on a WS board with the exact same slot layout:
