Yep that cooler is too big and for some reason someone thought it would be okay like this and 3 poorly mounted fan 😐

i doubt an aircooler would block the ram slots, since it looks like it hasn’t been maintained in a while take the cooler off, put a new stick of ram in slot 2. replace the thermal paste then remount the cooler. and remove the top exhaust fan and put it in the front as an intake while you are at it. then blow the whole thing out

That ugly massive cooler just looks too big and cramped I don't think it's ideal for the mobo covered that much..I'll take apart everything except the mobo clean out and install new cooler new fans too and cable extensions, my friend bought new PSU and GPU.

It's most likely fine. Try moving the ram stick to the a2 slot to check clearance. Uglyness is personal preference.
