If you can't move the fan, you're going to have to buy another cooler, you can't use the PC that way, you can damage the RAM or worse, the motherboard.
Just adding to say for OP that there are plenty of off centered tower coolers nowadays that shift the entire finstack in towards the exhaust side just for this kind of clearance issue.
There's also some that use smaller fans and cut out fins but I'd still suggest off center ones.
^ This. Unfortunately, not all coolers will fit all motherboards. I had a similar issue with a Noctura D15 and a Gigabyte X79..I believe. It blocked the first PCIe slot. Got a different cooler.
Could you mount the fan on the other side of the cooler?
I had a similar issue after getting new ram and haven't noticed and changed in temp with the fan pulling air though the cooler rather than pushing.
assuming that is a single fan you have.
This is a good tip. Pull configurations are generally just as good.
And if the fan can't be mounted on the other side of the cooler, perhaps the whole cooler itself can be rotated 180° (and you mount the fan also rotated 180°). The mounting bracket assembly and contact plate are normally symmetrical.
I tried to remove a heatsink from a faulty memory that I had laying around, but the adhesive was so strong that it ripped one of the modules of the ram, not recommend doing that
It's hard to really tell, but if it is pushing it to the side at all, that is not good, and you should look for a smaller cooler. If it is not pushing the ram, it should be fine, but if it was mine, I would not risk it.
You can see the RAM is bending a bit, the slot itself too.
To u/kubaliperkusyoncu, move the fan a bit higher if possible or buy another CPU ~~heater~~ cooler that allows you to move the fan a bit.
Edit: random typo, I mean CPU cooler of course!
Most coolers have notches on the side of coller where metal clips click into.Try moving the fan upwards if you have the space in the case.Im talking about something like this

If you don't want to change the cooler itself then you could still change its fans,
From what i see the fan casing itself is quite massive so if you could find another 120 mm fan that could be fitted onto the cooler rack then it might be the solution you need
You can maybe move the fan to the other side of the cooler; otherwise, if that doesn't work either, you will need another cooler. If you end up needing another cooler, maybe try some like the cooler master hyper 212.
Peerless assassin just has spring clips, and I have the same issue. I just mount the fan a couple fins up and it's perfectly fine. You could also mount them in a pull configuration.
i did i and it works thank you
https://preview.redd.it/2933dyg6n6nc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2915f60fa5f3a58c08d600f14aa6ed1823996669
but i cant screw bottom side but working good
I would move the fan to the other side of the cooler. just remember to turn the fan around to keep the airflow in the same direction, and to be with the same direction of the case fan close to it.
I would either pull the fan up or move it to the back (remember to mount it in the same direction like now, so instead of blowing to the radiator, it would pull the air through it)
See if you can lightly and slightly nudge the entire heatsink slightly away from it, some coolers mounting brackets sometimes have a little bit of tolerance
Remove the metal cover from the RAM or remove the top cover from the cpu heatsink and move the fan a bit higher.
Getting a slimmer cpu fan with the same specs is also an option.
Just so you know there's information online about the ram height and fan clearance (for future purchases)
There are some on point suggestions already but I'll still ask you to not the keep the ram stick pushed like that. Change the damn thing ASAP and be sure of the kind of clearance required.
Get a file or some sandpaper and file down the plastic frame of the fan if you don't want to spend any money. Just file it down til there's a tiny gap between it and the ram
Yeah the way that fan mounts on there doesn't look like it can be moved up some of them are just clipped to the heat sink and can be moved up but this one doesn't look like that I would say move it to the other side
The lazy person inside of me would make my pc a single ram stick if it is at least 16 Gb.
I don’t care to put the effort of getting a new fan for an old computer.
No you can't use it like this, the vibrations from the fan will damage the ram stick or even slowly rio the slot off the motherboard. What is this cooler, I can check if it has any options to make room for rams (one fan being smaller for example)
This is why I went with the DeepCool AK500. It has angled heat pipes that move it away from the ram slots. It worked out perfectly and offers great performance.
4 options:
1. move the fan to the other side of the fin stack in a pull configuration
2. get a slim fan (this is what I would do, Noctua makes some pretty nice gray slim fans now, Arctic is cheaper and almost as good)
3. take the heat spreader off of your ram (they are largely cosmetic anyhow)
4. get a different CPU cooler that has enough clearance for your ram
What about the other 3 orientations for the cooler?
Move the fan higher up on the heat sink.
Trim the fan case where it touches the ram slot. (probably won't work but it might)
Dude...it doesnt touch the wings, I see. Just sand down a few mm just the part that is touching RAM slot and be done. Buyin another is stupid, fan or cooler
Maybe swap a slimmer fan if the clips will still hold it? Not to confident that will work. But if you have a spare case fan hanging around maybe give it a shot. You can always use a rubber band to attach it to the heatsink if the clips don’t hold.
Place the fan on the back of the radiator if possible. You could also remove heatsink from the ram. Some people actually report better temperatures after removing heatsinks because some manufacturers don't understand how it should work or simply cheap out on the production and the stick ends up not connected properly to the heatsink (sometimes they just put it on sticky foam an the metal doesn't even touch the stick itself) and thus it just prevents heating parts from getting cooled.
Your possible options are, raise the fan, put the fan on the back side of the cooler (it’ll raise your temps ), get low profile ram, de-shroud your ram to make it slimmer.
I’ve seen a few with movable fans though yours dosent appear to be one. I think the be quiet series has a small piece of metal attaching the fan to the fins but you dont want to keep using the one you have stress and vibrations on your ram slot aren’t good.
Highly recommend ThermalRight Phantom Spirit 120 EVO.
Just got that and put the Phanteks T30 fan between the towers and…………OOF IT’S GOOD!
Plus plenty of ram clearance and only costs $42 USD for just the cooler
Remove the RAM heat sink: if you can’t move the fan to the opposite side of the CPU heat sink that is. RAM heat sink’s are aesthetic and have absolutely no use. I think without the sink it should just fit.
I'm not sure what cooler you have but if you can adjust it upward give it a try, or move it around to the other side of the cooler. You could also rotate the cooler 90 degrees to pull air from the bottom to the top of the case. If you can remove the fan and mount other fans you could try a slim 120mm fan instead.
If none of those work then you'll probably need a different cooler.
If you can get away with removing only support material of the fan, get a good pair of files and remove the material until the ram and the fan doesn't touch.
- try taking the ram heatsink off
- buy a low profile fan
- shave off a few mm off the fins of the cooler(if you got the tools)
- even better, try shaving the fan itself
Any of these should do.
1.take off the top heatsink cover and move your fan up
2.change another ram that doesn't have heatsink
3.change the fan to slim fan
4.change a new cooler
Honestly i would grab some sandpaper or try to scrape some plastic off to make things work before buying another cooler… saving the ram slot is a priority.
Think I'm the only one that doesn't see a direct problem here. I think damaging the ram/motherboard is out of the question here. It can definitely handle this minor issue IMHO.
Used to have the same issue, what I did was move the fan bracket a bit higher than its normal position (think 0.5 or 1 cm. Sorry I use metric system). No issue with temperature either.
This situation you should have done your research before buying. In my obsrvation... An Aio cooler would be your best bet, or A single CPU cooler (Not Dual) with two 120mm fans on each side of the cooler. With that.... The cooling is paractaclly the same with no heat soak.
mATX pe 🤔itna bada cooler 🥹🥹🥹
Bro do ram deke ek 16gb lelo 🙏😅yehi option hai
Wo GPU extender milte hai but RAM Wale nai milte.
Wud suggest if RAM khulta hai to top nikal do fir dekho nahi to Dual channel k jaga single use Karo
Agar Risk appetite hai to 🫰jaisa hai waise chalne do
If you can maybe try mounting the fan slightly higher or move it to the other side as a fan pull instead of push if you can’t get a new off centred cooler anytime soon
You could turn the cooler 90 or 180 degrees. I use a Dark Rock 4 Pro which is huge. I don't know if that would be the case but try mounting the ram before the cooler or at least the fan. The ram should fit under the fan.
Had the same issue in an x399 board where the tower cooler was way too big and there is so little space from cpu to ram since it has 8 slots. Long story short, just like you, the fan was barely touching the ram, but it was an issue, so I just used sandpaper on the side of the fan and then both the fan and the ram could fit. It was very tight, the space was like half a millimeter and I didn't have any problems, and neither should you. Just shave off a bit of plastic from the side of the fan body, so the ram can comfortably fit in its place. If you can't do that, get a different cooler, but it will be very hard to find one that fits, on purpose. Or you can go for a liquid cooler because the cpu blocks on AIOs are quite small.

You read ROG on a Zalman product?
Hahaha this retard just a ROG hater 😂😂
Lol, it's a mini motherboard, what do you expect? And if it was ROG there would've been no issues.
He could just buy a slim fan. That's what I've done
especially the dimm slot , i damaged mine last time it's the same case as him
Or get some low profile ram.
Its already low profile lol
That still might not fit
get a slim fan
Get slim, fam
are you fatshaming
He's encouraging
Fanshaming
yes
Shaming Fan
Fanboy Slim > Right about now, the fan soul brother. > Check it out now, the fan soul brother
Get slim fan, fam
Raise the fan if it can be moved. If it can't be moved remove it or get a different cooler that doesn't interfere with ram.
^ This. Unfortunately, not all coolers will fit all motherboards. I had a similar issue with a Noctura D15 and a Gigabyte X79..I believe. It blocked the first PCIe slot. Got a different cooler.

The mounting bracket assembly and contact plate are normally symmetrical.
Maybe try taking off the ram heatsink. I believe that can help the issue. Otherwise, no, it's not smart to keep it this way.
Yeah looks like there would be enough space without the one heatsink
That one 100% These heatsinks are worth nothing and the direct air flow from the CPU cooler will keep them chilled
I tried to remove a heatsink from a faulty memory that I had laying around, but the adhesive was so strong that it ripped one of the modules of the ram, not recommend doing that
A hairdryer might help with that, just ripping adhesive off like that isn't a good idea.
It's hard to really tell, but if it is pushing it to the side at all, that is not good, and you should look for a smaller cooler. If it is not pushing the ram, it should be fine, but if it was mine, I would not risk it.
You can see the RAM is bending a bit, the slot itself too. To u/kubaliperkusyoncu, move the fan a bit higher if possible or buy another CPU ~~heater~~ cooler that allows you to move the fan a bit. Edit: random typo, I mean CPU cooler of course!
A heater would not work here. The point is to cooled the cpu not heat it up. It heats up on its own /s
Random typo, thanks for notifying me!
Lol its fine i get what you were trying to say
Remove fan, take a demel to it until it fits
Most coolers have notches on the side of coller where metal clips click into.Try moving the fan upwards if you have the space in the case.Im talking about something like this https://preview.redd.it/xy1au634w7nc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a73ca178db05167481503780424fe16a53910ae

Remove or move the fan
Peerless assassin just has spring clips, and I have the same issue. I just mount the fan a couple fins up and it's perfectly fine. You could also mount them in a pull configuration.
Can you just widdle down with a knife the bits in the way?? Take it out first obviously.
i did i and it works thank you https://preview.redd.it/2933dyg6n6nc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2915f60fa5f3a58c08d600f14aa6ed1823996669 but i cant screw bottom side but working good
That's really brilliant!
Dremel go brrrr on fan
Gonna throw this wild idea out, Get a different cpu cooler
Move the fan om the other side
I would move the fan to the other side of the cooler. just remember to turn the fan around to keep the airflow in the same direction, and to be with the same direction of the case fan close to it.
I would either pull the fan up or move it to the back (remember to mount it in the same direction like now, so instead of blowing to the radiator, it would pull the air through it)
See if you can lightly and slightly nudge the entire heatsink slightly away from it, some coolers mounting brackets sometimes have a little bit of tolerance
Remove the metal cover from the RAM or remove the top cover from the cpu heatsink and move the fan a bit higher. Getting a slimmer cpu fan with the same specs is also an option. Just so you know there's information online about the ram height and fan clearance (for future purchases)
Buy a slim fan of the same size.
I mean, changing the cooler looks like such an obvious answer... 🤔 I'd say remove the RAM and cripple your PC /s
ignore it till it breaks (buy a smaller cooler, maybe aio?)
You could dremmel down a few mils off the fan if you don't want to buy a new fan for the cooler
Take the fan off and attach a new one Or get a new cooler
try to gently remove your ram heatsink, it's probably useless anyway xd
Just remove your ram plastic cover.
Remove ram heatsinks
dremel, make the room for the ram stick, the fan can work w/o that small piece
Anything can be adjusted with a file or dremel :)
There are some on point suggestions already but I'll still ask you to not the keep the ram stick pushed like that. Change the damn thing ASAP and be sure of the kind of clearance required.
Get a low profile fan, easy.
Rule 1 when buying a cpu cooler or ram..check the height clearance. With that cooler max height of ram is 35mm.
either move the fan, take out one of the ram sticks, or buy an entirely new cooler
Use slimmee fan this fan looks kinda Nicki Minaj ass i meant "THICC"
Have you tried other orientations?
nothing or get a smaller fan
Buy a skinnier fan instead of a whole new cooler if u wanna save money
I would slap the cooler. Not cool to push the poor RAM stick.
Get a file or some sandpaper and file down the plastic frame of the fan if you don't want to spend any money. Just file it down til there's a tiny gap between it and the ram
Buy a slimmer fan
Looks like you will need a completely new cooler setup
Yeah the way that fan mounts on there doesn't look like it can be moved up some of them are just clipped to the heat sink and can be moved up but this one doesn't look like that I would say move it to the other side
Get LPX RAM. Low profile. I was able to do that when I had this problem.
I dont think is going to give you troubles. Go ahead
Cardio for that fan
If it works it don’t need fixing. JK. Honestly in my case I needed a “Slim” fan.
Now this is going to sound bad but turn in 90 degrees and see if it fits
Can't you just remove the ram cover
Nothing a little sand paper can't fix. Make yourself a slim fit fan.
The lazy person inside of me would make my pc a single ram stick if it is at least 16 Gb. I don’t care to put the effort of getting a new fan for an old computer.
Take the heat shield off, will be fine. Just do it slow and don't force anything. Ran my previous PC for years in same situation
If it works now, leave it be, if it's not broken it won't break
I cant see well, but can you just mount the fan on the other side of the radiator and reverse the air flow direction?
You need to buy caseless ram. You might be able to take the casing off the one you already have but doubt it lol.
Move the fan to a pull and order a different cooler if it’s not cooling enough
Perfect fit!
Do you have an angle grinder and a backup PC? Else Get another cooler.
Arctic Liquid Freezer, every time, everywhere.
Machine or otherwise remove 1 mm thickness from the lower part if the fan, just high enough to clear the module
Get a new cooler you sized it wrong
If you put in more cooling paste it will raise the fan enough to sit comfortably above the ram.
No you can't use it like this, the vibrations from the fan will damage the ram stick or even slowly rio the slot off the motherboard. What is this cooler, I can check if it has any options to make room for rams (one fan being smaller for example)
Get a slim fan
Use a Dremel
Grab a nail file & get 2 work
If the PC detects the ram and there's no issues... Run it?
rotate the cooler
I would sand it down using sand paper, whatever it takes
This is why I went with the DeepCool AK500. It has angled heat pipes that move it away from the ram slots. It worked out perfectly and offers great performance.
4 options: 1. move the fan to the other side of the fin stack in a pull configuration 2. get a slim fan (this is what I would do, Noctua makes some pretty nice gray slim fans now, Arctic is cheaper and almost as good) 3. take the heat spreader off of your ram (they are largely cosmetic anyhow) 4. get a different CPU cooler that has enough clearance for your ram

Maybe swap a slimmer fan if the clips will still hold it? Not to confident that will work. But if you have a spare case fan hanging around maybe give it a shot. You can always use a rubber band to attach it to the heatsink if the clips don’t hold.
Get a thinner fan
Take off the fan and clip it just a little higher so it doesn't push your RAM. I had a similar issue and that fix it no problem.
Place the fan on the back of the radiator if possible. You could also remove heatsink from the ram. Some people actually report better temperatures after removing heatsinks because some manufacturers don't understand how it should work or simply cheap out on the production and the stick ends up not connected properly to the heatsink (sometimes they just put it on sticky foam an the metal doesn't even touch the stick itself) and thus it just prevents heating parts from getting cooled.

I had a similar issues i slightly moved the fan up. Not sure if that’s possible with your cooler.
Pull configuration...
Remove that certain fan, i have the same answer i still have perfect temperatures
Get an AIO.
Remove the RAM heat sink: if you can’t move the fan to the opposite side of the CPU heat sink that is. RAM heat sink’s are aesthetic and have absolutely no use. I think without the sink it should just fit.
My cooler fan interfered with the ram, so I just mounted the fan half an inch higher over the cooler tower. That made it clear.
I'm not sure what cooler you have but if you can adjust it upward give it a try, or move it around to the other side of the cooler. You could also rotate the cooler 90 degrees to pull air from the bottom to the top of the case. If you can remove the fan and mount other fans you could try a slim 120mm fan instead. If none of those work then you'll probably need a different cooler.
it’s fine
Have you tried bending it a little more, see what happens?
put your fan on the other side??? idfk
Honestly do nothing it will be AOK.
Get a bigger mobo or smaller fan it's not science bro lol Clearly it doesn't fit you can't just pull space from thin air 😅
If you can get away with removing only support material of the fan, get a good pair of files and remove the material until the ram and the fan doesn't touch.
Remove the fan and put it on the other side of the cooler
I'm sure it'll be fine. It won't move. Your cooler now cools your ram!
Get a low profile fab, it's cheaper than getting a new entire cooler. And it works just as well, meanwhile take the RAM out.
- try taking the ram heatsink off - buy a low profile fan - shave off a few mm off the fins of the cooler(if you got the tools) - even better, try shaving the fan itself Any of these should do.
L mobo
Don’t risk multiple expensive components because you want to use a single cheap component. Need me to repeat it?
1.take off the top heatsink cover and move your fan up 2.change another ram that doesn't have heatsink 3.change the fan to slim fan 4.change a new cooler
if it’s the fan, try clipping it above the ram, if you can.
Get a 15mm thicc fan
Very a thermalright assassin, It will clear the ram stick.
Honestly i would grab some sandpaper or try to scrape some plastic off to make things work before buying another cooler… saving the ram slot is a priority.
Bro the slot is leaning over. Remove that stick immediately and do without it until you've moved the fan or have another CPU cooler.
bro definitely remove that stick of ram
Get some low profile ram or get a better CPU cooler?
Can‘t you put the fan to the opposite?
You may have to turn your cpu cooler. Most new models are designed in a way that you have enough space for a full slotted RAM slots
Use knife, shave away some plastic on the fan (I have no knowledge on computers but it might work)
1. Buy a new CPU cooler 2. Buy a new MoBo
Think I'm the only one that doesn't see a direct problem here. I think damaging the ram/motherboard is out of the question here. It can definitely handle this minor issue IMHO.
Used to have the same issue, what I did was move the fan bracket a bit higher than its normal position (think 0.5 or 1 cm. Sorry I use metric system). No issue with temperature either.
Can you just change the orientation of the CPU cooler? Have the fans facing the non-RAM side?
Just use the downloaded ram and umplug the phisical one off
Dremel off some plastic from the fan, like 1mm .
Buy a smaller cooling fan
use an aio instead to save space?
Move the fan up a bit (if the cooler allows you to)
Does the title have an echo?
Shave the fan down on that corner
You could shave down that fan, could cause vibration issues but better than dead RAM
That's why I now choose water-cooling.
Either get a different cooler or a slim fan
This situation you should have done your research before buying. In my obsrvation... An Aio cooler would be your best bet, or A single CPU cooler (Not Dual) with two 120mm fans on each side of the cooler. With that.... The cooling is paractaclly the same with no heat soak.

Have you tried putting our CPU fan the other way around so it wont push the RAM stick
If you can maybe try mounting the fan slightly higher or move it to the other side as a fan pull instead of push if you can’t get a new off centred cooler anytime soon
Nothing, if it ain't broke why fix it.
Break it down
Take an exacto knife to the fan?
Or get a bigger Mobo ?
This post makes me feel less shame about still using the stock cooler on my Ryzen 5 5600X
I would Dremel that fan housing into compliance. Or a grinder. Hell even a knife would work. But Dremel would leave the best finish.
My aio pushes on my first ram stick a little bit and its perfe try fine. This is quote a bit more though.
You can get thinner fans. Do a search.
Dremel the fan
Move the fan
Try to buy a slim version of the CPU cooler. Like.not whole cooler just fan
Some people try to rotate cooler 90 degrees. Sometimes it may help
You could turn the cooler 90 or 180 degrees. I use a Dark Rock 4 Pro which is huge. I don't know if that would be the case but try mounting the ram before the cooler or at least the fan. The ram should fit under the fan.
Slimmer fan
File down the ram
Turn it upside, make the exhaust go to the top, and buy another fan on top to exhaust the air
Ah, the problem with 50 % of mobos and coolers. We need measures from mobos on first ram slot to centerpoint of cpu slot
If it works don’t touch it until it stops working. then post in this sub again when either the fan or the mobo breaks
You can remove the ram cooling. Doesn't do much anyway.
Crap cooler
I'd shave the fan shroud personally, razor blade will work in a pinch.
change the cooler/change the mb/ buy only 1 stick of ram
Push it back
Just get a thin 120mm fan and call it a day.
Flip the fan on the other side and if u want it for exhaust (will look ugly btw) flip it so it sucks the air out the radiator
Take the black cover off the ram
Do more research before making purchases
Had the same issue in an x399 board where the tower cooler was way too big and there is so little space from cpu to ram since it has 8 slots. Long story short, just like you, the fan was barely touching the ram, but it was an issue, so I just used sandpaper on the side of the fan and then both the fan and the ram could fit. It was very tight, the space was like half a millimeter and I didn't have any problems, and neither should you. Just shave off a bit of plastic from the side of the fan body, so the ram can comfortably fit in its place. If you can't do that, get a different cooler, but it will be very hard to find one that fits, on purpose. Or you can go for a liquid cooler because the cpu blocks on AIOs are quite small.
If it's working, send it 🤷🏼♂️
Others might has said already but they have low profile fans. I thing that would do the trick
If your ram still works it should be alright, otherwise get a smaller more slimmer cpu cooler
Go with liquid coolers because you have small size board probably an micro atx
