So, you moved the fan over but is it still pushing air the same direction? I you move it to the other side and it fights with the exhaust fan, there's basically no airflow over the heat sink, and from the looks of the Gammax 300, it seems like that's exactly what's happening.

You have to keep the CPU cooler's fan blowing to the left still, or else it will be battling against your case fans. Tight might be more difficult due to how the fan mounts on the cooler is designed.

The gammax 300 can have its height adjusted, instead of changing sides you can simply move it up.

The wire clips can be attached to different parts of the heat sink, higher or lower.

Although my gammaxx is still quite dusty, the fan keeps somehow and the plates are bent

Is that preventing you from changing where the fan is clipped on? I hope it's not badly damaged, but you can bend the metal back to its original shape without too much risk.

I have more broken clips that fasten the fan, I with very great difficulty moved it from the right to the left side of the radiator

So would it be impossible for you to mount the fan higher on the heat sink? You might need to get warranty service to replace broken parts.

How much better is gammaxx cooling than box wraith spire?

The spire is not as capable as the gammaxx, but are you overclocking? if not, I believe the spire is fine. It cools adequately, with room for XFR to boost performance automatically.

Ohhh man, one of the few things I truly dislike about the AB350M is how close the RAM slots are to where the average CPU cooler would be mounted.

Just get the Wraith Spire, you may not be able to OC as hard if you have something like a Ryzen 7 (not like you'd be able to get a good OC out of one of those on this motherboard anyways) but it'll keep your CPU happy.

mb under the cooler... Basically you have to maintain the airflow pattern.

let's say 20% better. Hard to actually put this into real data, but I want to show that it's noticeably better than the spire.
