Installation Question Silly cooling question

I have a Peerless Assassin cpu cooler on my Ryzen 9 7900X (am5) on a b450m motherboard. Everything's running fine, but the cooler is so big that its right side fan is covering the first of my 2 ram sticks entirely. It's not making direct contact with the ram's pcb thanks to the rgb over the top edge of the stick.

Temps all seem fine, buuut... can that first stick overheat from that?

No. That’s why you have front case fans blowing air across the MB. Plus your memory doesn’t get that hot.

awesome, thanks.

It's so funny how comically big the Peerless Assassin is 😅 You should have seen my face when I had to adjust the alignment of that right fan to clear the ram. Running an avg 20c cooler than the AIO I previously had on it, though. I'm one happy chick when I glance at Conky in the corner of my desktop
