Anyone else having this issue with an AIO cooler and the Maximus IX Hero?
I'd say its a two fold problem:
1 - the cooler extends into the ports
2 - the TridentZ memory is kinda tall.

I don't know that I would put it on the board or ram as much as the cooler. Corsair AIOs wouldn't present this issue nor does any custom blocks that I know of.*
Honestly this is the first cooler I've seen on a CPU that came in from the side. Only option with this is rotate 90 degrees clockwise if the tubing will allow it. *

yeah, I've seen this AIO on other motherboards with all 4 memory sockets filled in. If I knew it was going to block the socket, I wouldn't have bought it.
I might see if I can return it. I wanted to see if anyone had any luck with other memory.
This one seems to fit

This guy rotated his cooler so he could fit it (nearly same motherboard)

Found these 2 replies in your second link. Keep in mind his build is on Hero VIII though.
I am doing a build on IX hero myself and was planning to use all DIMM slots and X62 cooler too. If I have to turn the pump 90 degrees to fit it all I won't mind but I won't love it either. lol
