Recently I got an aftermarket CPU fan cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition CPU Air Cooler
Now the issue I have is that I want to utilize all four RAM slots on my motherboard but the cooler fan blocks one of the RAM slots just slightly.
Am I allowed to shift the fan on the heatsink up just by one centimeter? Just a small shift up would allow me to place my RAM in.
Will this cause temperature issues? I expect it to be minimal but I am not completely sure so could someone let me know.
Second question: I have two different brands of RAM. Both are 2 x 8 sticks (total of 32) which is what I plan to put into the motherboard in the 4 slots. I expect them to work with each other (correct me if I am wrong). Both are DDR4. One is a GSkill and the other just says XPG on top. I use an Intel processor so I think the RAM is maxed to 2666mhz. Both of the RAM I have is 3000mhz or more so I know they would only run at a max of 2666mhz anyways. Would there be any issue with using two different brands of RAM?
Thanks.
