[SOLVED] CPU Cooler blocks Ram Slots

[jackfloyd2005]

Hello,

About a year ago, I built a pc with a stock Ryzen 2600 cooler. I put the ram in first, before the cpu, and I did not notice the "AMD" logo tab on the rim of the CPU fan blocked my ram slot. Now that I'm looking to add more ram, its become an issue.

If theres any option other than removing the entire cooler off my cpu to install the ram, I would appreciate if you told me.

Thank you.

No big deal removing the cooler and it's the only way. Just get a tube of thermal paste AS5, MX4 or Thermal grizzly are good to reapply.
Get a kit of low profile Dimms or an AIO water cooler that won't intrude.
