Basically, this is what you are looking at, yeah albeit taste (significantly) differs, it is not the sexiest looking product from be quiet! arguably. Secure it tightly; you'll notice that there is plenty of space for DDR4 DIMMs.

Once the cooler has been mounted, you can install the fan, tie it with the two metal clip. As you can see, we (still) use the Z97 Sabertooth, as it is one of the most challenging motherboards to use with all the shielding stuff from ASUS. The cooler fits like a glove though in either direction. Two or four DIMMs will fit well, however as you can see I use high-profile memory here, and the last slot can be used.

Big CPU coolers sometimes tend to strap space occupied by neighbouring RAM, especially when your memory fills every available DIMM slot, including the ones that are nestled closest to the CPU socket. With the cooler and fans in place, take the fan cable, and connect it in the fan cable connector towards the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard and you're good to go.
