The cooler is an ARGB-lit variant that requires no proprietary software to manage. It can be controlled by any 3-pin ARGB host, such as your motherboard, a GPU with ARGB pins, or a third-party controller.

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. And yeah, it did not fir, so we had to rotate it 90 degrees C.

So yeah, the presence of large CPU cooling can restrict the amount of RAM that can be installed next to it. This is especially true if your memory occupies every available DIMM slot, including those that are snuggled closest to the CPU socket. After you've installed the cooler and fans, take the fan cable and plug it into the fan cable connector on your motherboard, which is located near the CPU FAN header. You'll be good to go from there.
