I have an Asus Strix B560-G MoBo and i recently bought a new cpu cooler Scythe Fuma 2 because my cpu gets hot (i7-11700KF).
As far as i’m aware, i didn’t have any issues installing the fuma on my cpu but its heat pipes touch the VRM heatsinks on the MoBo. It touches the vrm hs on the left(back port side of the mobo) in the image.

I can pass through a thin paper among them but a thicker paper won’t pass. it is difficult to take a pic when cpu cooler is installed but i attached a photo of my mobo w/o cpu cooler.
Should i be concerned? I’m not sure if that touching points will affect either VRM or CPU performance. I can return the CPU cooler but fuma 2 is one of the low profile cooler that would fit in my case yet great performer + not many options i have in my country.
Thanks for your help!
