My rad says it's 27mm, I wasn't interested in going smaller, nor was I interested in returning and waiting on a new one that probably cost more not to mention return fees.

Thanks all. In the future I will know that shiny things on a PCB are probably important. 😆

Yeah, PC Part Picker lists this case, the Silverstone RL01B, as compatible with several 240 AIOs, but the mounting holes need to be placed closer to the outer edge to make it work with every board. A MicroATX board with ram slots higher up would not work at all. So, I guess we all agree my...

I have a MicroATX case that is quite a bit shorter and the same width and I have put a larger radiator in that one. The photo below is a custom loop I built, but before that I had a 38mm Cryorig A40 in it. The real problem is that the mounting for the radiator on my new case is too close to...

No, I would not expect the designer to anticipate someone trimming the PCB, but seems that if they could make ram a little less wide that there might be a market for it. I am sure it is possible, but probably takes a little more thought on their part. The only low profile DDR4 that I have seen...

Yeah, but seems like the gold dot thing was probably what killed it. Still wonder what it is and why it is at the edge like that.

I think it is just going to have to stay the way it is. The system is running, I just wanted to relieve the pressure on the slot but I guess it isn't a problem for now. I did unscrew the board and push it down a tiny bit but still pretty tight. I would trim the fan housing but I am afraid the...

No, low profile fans are noisy and that would defeat my primary objective which is to reduce noise. The PSU is plenty, all I have is a 2700x and a very light GPU, so shouldn't pull 200 watts from the PSU under the most extreme circumstances. CPU is pulling about 110-120 Watts under loads. This...

I installed a fan and radiator and it is pushing on the ram slot. I literally need about a millimeter to clear it. Right now it is installed and running fine but there is some pressure on the ram slot. I guess it is going to have to stay that way since I can't seem to find any low profile DDR4...

Odd place for it at the top edge of the PCB. Hope someone has an idea why it would be there and what is its purpose.

I used a hack saw, but the stick was kept fairly stable.

I trimmed the edge of a stick DDR4 to resolve a clearance issue and the stick seems to be dead. The only thing on the edge was a single gold dot, I didn't think it was important but guess I was wrong. What is the gold dot and what does it do? See far left of image below.
