Dimm Slot Distance

I currently have a Rampage Formula. I was thinking of upgrading to a Rampage iv Formula. But I'm not sure it would fit because of the position of the dimm slots on the board. I have a Corsair 600t case. I think the rad from my Antec 920 will block them even with low profile RAM.The Rad is approx 2 inches off the mainboard. The rad sticks out 4 inches from the back of the case toward the CPU. If I took one fan off the rad it would be 3 inches. I can't top mount the rad because of the position of the 12 volt header on the mainboard I think. How far in inches is it from the back of the mainboard(back panel) to Dimm slot A1? And how high is the 12volt header? I've contacted Asus Support and they suggested I just buy the board and RMA it if it doesn't fit. Id sooner know if it fits than deal with their support. Any help would be great.
I'm including a pic of my setup with the current Rampage Formula.

I'd suggest "approx" is not a great measurement. I have some G.Skill ripjaws z series memory that comes in at 44 or 45 mm off the board and they do Ares which is 32mm high. Lots of memory is low profile if you don't buy into all the fancy heat spreaders.

2 inches is 50 mm so approx you could do it. I have a Rampage not the formula so I cant tell you the distance to the first slot but I guess 50 to 60 mm...

Hard to get a exact measurement because of the heatsinks around the rad. I was looking at some Corsair low profile that might fit. But I was hoping not to have to go over the dimm slots at all. Being that close to the rad I'm a little worried about heat. But thanks for the reply.
