I have a Deep Cool AK 620 for my 7700x and it’s a good cooler, but I run into problems with ram clearance and I need to use low profile dimms as a result. I also find it annoying if I ever need to do maintenance inside the pc because it’s just so physically large.
I need to buy new RAM and was thinking of getting a new cooler at the same time. Do yous have any recommendations?

does the fan need to go into the dimm slots?

Why is your RAM in slots 1 and 3 instead of 2 and 4?

I thought those M.2 adaptors were mostly made for PCIe slots
