Hi, After much waiting to get all my parts together, I finally put together my new Ryzen build today, however I've hit a problem. My Hyper X Predator RAM won't fit into the slot nearest the AMD Wraith Stealth cooler supplied with my CPU as the fan shroud is slightly too large. I think any RAM with a heatsink will have the same issue as its so tight. The AMD logo on the cooler is on the opposite side of the board so I can't even rotate the cooler to resolve the issue. As this is a MIni ITX board I need to use both RAM slots (it's a G series Ryzen), I'm quite happy to use an alternative cooler but wondered if anyone had some suggestions at the budget end of the market.

The standard move has been using hyper212 evo for years, but it requires a low-profile RAM. Could the height be the problem?

I did some more investigation and discovered the answer. I took off the outer ring (the one with the AMD logo). A few people said it was tightened, but my cooler just sat there. Once the ring was gone, everything worked fine and I had two units set up.
