Hello. Im building a new PC which will be used as a multi-purpose media centre (Making music, rendering, streaming, some Blender/C4D stuff, gaming, etc) One thing I'm not sure about is RAM clearance with that CPU cooler. It will be enough if i lift up the fan a little bit? I know that these questions might be a little stupid but I don't want to screw anything up. SSD and HDD's will be taken from my previous PC so i don't think it matters. Thanks for any help and have a nice day!

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
CPU Cooler: beQuiet! Dark Rock 4 (AIO is not an option)
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E
GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER ROG Strix/RTX 3xxx
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32GB (4x8GB) 3600MHz
CASE: beQuiet! Silent Base 801
FANS: beQuiet! PureWings 2 140 PWM
PSU: beQuiet! Straight Power 11 750W 80 Plus Platinum
Thermal grease: ThermalGrizzly Kryonaut

The ram you selected has high heat spreaders.
It looks like a conflict to me unless you remount the fan to a less effective pull position.

From a compatibility point of view, the noctua NH-D15s is a high compatibility cooler with 65mm clearance.

I might add that it comes with very good paste, you will get negligible difference with other pastes.
