Hello

Will there be a problem regarding the ram clearance with the following parts-
1. Asus ROG STRIX b360-G gaming (micro atx)
2. Cooler Master T2
3. Hyperx Predator 8gb ddr4 2400(model HX424C12PB3/8)

since the ram height is 42.2mm and the cooler's ram clearance is 37mm ?

The fan may not extend out far enough to cover the 1st RAM slot. If it does, you can always raise the fan in the heat sink's mounting grooves a bit to clear the RAM. Install the RAM first, then see what results. But you should be able to work around it if it does cover the first slot.

Plus... the surface of the CPU is usually a tad higher than the bottom of the DIMM slots. So the measurements are not starting from the same place.
