Because the motherboard was designed in such a way that the fan doesn't fit on the correct side. The RAM is in the way.

I just scooted the cooler up a bit :-) but then again the AK620 is a massive cooler, you can't see my RAM under it.

I tried, but it's just like 1mm in the way. I was thinking of scraping/cutting some of the fan off lol, but that seems exessive. CPU is running cool so no point.

The RAM is also quite tall. If I bought boring RAM it will probably fit.

Yeah possibly :-). Even with boring RAM I couldn't get the Peer Assassin to fit on my sons mobo, it also has the fan adjusted just over it. Sigh mobo manufacturers need to shift their ram modules nowadays with coolers.

Yip, or I could a get liquid cooler at some point in the future, but I'm not a big fan of those.

My previous mobo worked fine with my current setup, but I had to replace it when it packed up. Bought the same one, but the DDR5 version, which is now the one with the RAM too close to the CPU :X3:
