[SOLVED] Fractal Design Meshify S2 Top Radiator problem

[spyze]

Hi,
Im currently trying to install the Arctic Liquid Freezer 2 420mm version.
My problem is that it is hitting my x570-f motherboard and my tridentZ RAM.

It said on the fractal design specs that i would support a 420mm size.

Any tips on what Im doing wrong?

It's difficult to determine "what you are doing wrong" based on the information you have given us. Pictures would be helpful. Also, what is 'hitting' your motherboard and RAM? The radiator, fans, and/or the tubing coming from the radiator?

it is the fans on the radiator that is hitting the top of the RAM sticks.

You missed the small print, mate - or rather, what was in parentheses.

• Top radiator
  
  120/240/360 mm, 140/280/420 mm (max 35 mm motherboard component height)

What that means is ram, or VRM heatsinks over 35mm won't fit with the 140mm sized models. The 120mm size units would've been fine.

So what's the next move?

Yep. And his RAM is 44 mm high. Sorry.

Right!
I forgot to include that the Trident Z was 44mm tall. Thank you.

I think i will return the 420mm and buy the 360mm version instead.
Thanks for the help guys!
