Is PC part picker always right with compatibility?

No offense to anyone helping, but this is why aio coolers are such a massive success. No clearance issues, top tier air cooling performance, and no weight issues on the socket.

I'm afraid of using an aio cooler, afraid of leakage/short

I've had just about every incarnation of an AIO, and have yet to have one that leaked. To me chances are very slim of such an issue, but I understand your worries.

God no

Why? Give reason rather than just stating your opinion. Give facts to back up why you are saying no. Otherwise, why should we listen to you?

I think the distance of the ram slots may differ a few mm as well per motherboard? Or is this a fixed place for the memory slots on every ATX motherboard?
Thanks @Anarki ! I see now that it should fit.

I can't say for sure but I believe they're standard.

Afaik - not.

There are at least 3-4 things involved here

• overall MB form factor and space available on the MB
• design guidelines from the chipset/CPU manufacturer (socket exclusion zones and what not ...)
  
• lenght of the trace for each slot, which has to be as close as possible to the same lenght for all RAM modules. Different trace lenghts result in different signal travel times, which would brings all kinds of fun. "You" don't want to deal with different latencies for each RAM slot.
  
• At the same time you want to keep the traces at short as possible for obvious reasons

Thanks for providing info regarding that.
