How to mount a dual tower cpu cooler and still use 2x rams in dual channel mode?

[EzioWar]

Hi, my MOBO-Gigabyte B650M DS3H, Ram - Acer Predator Vesta II 30-38-38-76 6000MHz 16gbX2

How do u guys mount a dual tower cpu cooler and still use 2x rams in dual channel mode?

My rams are 49mm high from board, so i cant have cpu cooler spread over those ram. And dual tower cpu cooler will take atleast 2 ram slots(or more) from cpu side. now for dual channel to work we at least need 2nd slot from cpu side, but dual tower cpu cooler wont allow that. Do u guys remove the fan from front of heatsink and install it at the back of heatsink? will that work and will that decrease the cooling capability of the cpu cooler and roughly by how many degrees C?

and finally are duall tower cpu coolers more effective than single tower cpu coolers in cooling at same price tag?

I guess you could do that if your cooler allows it, or place the fan higher up. But if the heatsink part of the cooler interferes with the ram you can only make it work by having low profile ram. Check your cooler for dimensions and pick ram that fits according to the dimensions listed by the manufacturer

but will putting the fan back of the heatsink instead front , decrease the cooling capability of the cpu cooler and roughly by how many degrees C?

It will barely matter

technically, slightly, but in reality, not enough to matter.

not much, what's your CPU? it's probably fine, besides getting heat out of the fins is as important as air intake, if not more

What's your CPU ?

If it's a really high power one you can go AIO Liquid cooler, if not you don't need a double tower cooler; double tower have better heat dissipation, but are only needed at 150W+; at 250W+ an AIO is required, but can be used for less

Depends on the coolers also, some have a notch on the RAM side, or may be installed but with the fan installed on the other side, yet your RAM is very tall so idk which one can fit

R5 7600. but i wanna buy double tower to be future proof cause i'll surely upgrade my cpu in future

Then use less tall memory sticks or get an AIO...

i dont wanna use Aio  if i use cpu coolers front fan at the back of the heatsink as air puller instead pusher will there be any issue? i'm talking about this cooler- Cooler Master Hyper 620S | CPU Air Cooler | Mdcomputers.in

How much for Peerless Assassin 120 SE/Phantom Spirit 120 SE/Deepcool AG620?

 

there will be no issue if you swap the fan side, just make sure it's facing the right way so they don't blow into each other, or like @Alinz said, you can move the front fan slightly higher to allow RAM clearance,

tyvm, which will be better cooling performance - moving the front fan 11mm higher to make room for the ram or move the front fan at the back of heatsink as an air puller?

like I said, pulling hot air out is as important as air intake, if not more (because the colder air automatically replaces the hot air with decent airflow case)

same cooling performance basically, you're rocking one of the slowest AM5 CPUs, it's not a furnace you're good either way

among those only Deepcool AG620 available at my place and it's 8 us $ costlier than Cooler Master Hyper 620S. is it worth the extra cost? please consider that i'll be using 200-250w Cpu in future with the same cooler.

what CPU? AG620 should be slightly better more or less, not much but it is slightly better

single tower would be enough for them? my room temp is 34c though

Im running a 7800X3D with your aforementioned setup, i didnt see any major differences in my temps after the change

I initially had the rear fan on the front in this setup, thanks for the wonderful graphic @podkall

But i just wanted to show off my RAM as i had purchased the RGB version but it was entirely hidden by the fan
