What is “thick ram”? Most ram doesn’t hang over the slot by much if at all.

Best image available. The gskill trident z is relatively thick. Doesn’t affect install.

Fits the Trident Z- https://forums.evga.com/X299-Dark-Teaser-m2829994.aspx#2829994
 
Was a snug fit, I moved the fan harness on mine

X299 Dark is gorgeous.
This block fit best. 
Heatkiller IV Pro Pure Copper, white Gold or Heatkiller IV PRO Black Copper, silver - black.
One because gold details on motherboard and other silver black fit with every hardware.
I can't wait to change platform because both blocks are available to me easy for few days from Caseking.de
Both full metal, black is not acetal, it's black nickel plated copper.
There is and Anthracite and Full Nickel - silver.
 

 

This Black Copper is perfection for X299 Dark and default VRM Cooler with 2 fans.
I afraid they will launch Heatkiller V more modern or I would bought now to wait new platform.
Exactly have place for one Koolance Inlet filter on inlet port and compression fitting above to keep block clean inside as much possible.
 
 
I like motherboards design so nice and cool that you don't want to change them 5 years.
And EVGA X299 Dark is perfect for people as me who can't afford to buy constantly new hardware.
Except very powerful line of available processor he look powerful and newer generation can't change that fact.
She could provide you chance to start to work something and profit from computer at least some small money because you can install i9 processors when their price drop and to use platform years.

ASUS think fans of Rampage Extreme will pay 600$ and more for motherboard, if not ASUS will offer to them same class as Hero with cosmetic changes for 400-450 euro and price they used to pay for Rampage Extreme. 
That will not happen in my case.
