Question Can you have wire laying on your ram

Hi my aio with rad on top and water pump fittings pointed toward ram the fittings will block slot 1 and if I turn it 90 degrees it clears but the wires lean on the ram is that ok I have a msi z490 ace with a kraken z73 an 4 sticks of Corsair vengeance

The ram has a heat spreader that protects the actual components. Having the fan or pump wires touching the RAM shouldn't be an issue.

As long as the wire doesn't push the RAM to the other side, you're fine.

Agreed on both, the RAM heatspreader would shield anything important, and the wire itself is shielded (you wont have exposed wired in a PC normally).
Avoiding physical pressure on the RAM is the only other concern there.

The wires, as in pump and/or fan wires? No worries. I let my pump wire lie across the RAM time to time (when I'm too lazy after testing thermal pastes), it's too thin and nowhere as taut to put pressure on the sticks.
