Question AMD CPU: stock fan is blocking RAM slot. I switched to opposite direction but now another problem ?

[boostergaming391]

just like title is saying i bought new ram 3600mhz instead of 3200mhz but okay let's not talk about that now they are equal voltage and worked
problem is amd stock fan blocked ram slot i couldn't put it in until i turned it to opposite direction but it didn't install properly no matter how many times i tried
skin on my finger peeled off from too much turning with screwdriver
how did i know it's not installed properly despite being locked in mobo? the temps are not normal we talking 49 to 67°C on idle and 95°C on 100%
even with 1.1v undervolt it still reaches 83°C AND CORE PERFOMANCE BOOST OFF !!, from what i remember undervolting to just 1.19v did job for it to stay under 75°C
UPDATE : temps on 49% now reach 55°C with no core perfomance boost
SPECS : CPU: RYZEN 5 3600
RAM : 16GB RAM 3600MHZ DDR4
MONITOR: MSI MP251
GRAPHIC CARD: RX 580 2048SP 8GB
MOTHERBOARD: MSI B450M PRO MAX
PSU:CORSAIR CV550

Those temps are with new thermal paste.

Not seeing the photographs. No link.

In imgur you need to start with "New post", upload the photographs, and then copy the provided link to your posting here.

photographs of what exactly? you want to see how AMD fan is positioned or what?

Yes- from your first post:

"problem is amd stock fan blocked ram slot i couldn't put it in until i turned it to opposite direction but it didn't install properly no matter how many times i tried"

Something is not right and some photographs showing the current or attempted installation will be very helpful with regards to troubleshooting the problem or problems.

Also: Do you have a link to the AMD stock fan being installed?

This motherboard?

The objective simply being to determine or eliminate errors of omission or commission with respect to the components and/or installation.

How is the cooler interfering with RAM? It's unclear from the photos.

i said i readjusted the whole cooler
and now i readjusted only fan so it doesn't block ram slot

As long as it makes contact and you dont have temp problems ,dosen't matter what's the cooler orentation , just make sure the cable it's not to streach

that's the thing i have to undervolt to 1.1v to decrease temps but even then i still reach 85°C under full load which didn't happen to me back then i think

it looks like it dosen't make perfect contact
to be clear , are you using the stock cooler ? it should not affect the new ram slots , read your motherboard manual but im pretty sure you can use a2 b2 slots

i know its effecting the ram slots cause msi couldnt design a board to save themselves the way they designed this board the ram is stupidly close to the socket. they have a habit of putting chokes right next to the socket as well.
