Hello everyone, i am trying to get better cpu temps so im thinking of buying a phantom wraith cpu cooler, currently i have an amd wraith prism, and it is pretty close to the ram and the phantom spirit is a bit bigger than the one i currently have.
So my question is, can it fit?
If not, what other choices do i have for better cpu and overall temps?

SPECS
GPU: gtx 1080
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X3D
RAM: 16gb 3200mhz (2 Sticks)
MOBO: A520M S2H

Nah, you're in good order, though I'd have looked into a tower style cooler, something from Thermalright. Besides that, you're good.

What is the make and model of your case?

Wouldn't it be pushing the ram sticks??
I haven't bought it yet, i'd consider the tower style cooler but i googled it and i see similar devices to cpu coolers. It's the first time i hear about tower coolers so can you enlighten me there haha.

You're yet to mention the make and model of your case. Without clearance info, we're just flying blind.

I'd have looked into a better quality board to pair that processor with.

The new cpu was an upgrade from a previous one i was using, so i just sticked with the same board.

For the case, a friend gave it to me, i found the model here.
