You got 3 options form least expensive to most: 1, move the radiator to the front of the case. 2, buy low profile fans if you are dead set on having the rad at the top. 3 buy smaller profile ram

Would it fit if you took the fan out, plug in the ram, then put the fan back in?

What case are you using? Can you mount the rad in the front of your rig? Also your fans are mounted to pull air in from the top of your case the way you have them mounted on the rad I think. Cage side of the fans is the exhaust side. The side without the cage is the intake side. So you’re going to suck air from the top through the rad past the fans into the fase?

WHOA !
Why are you using two different memory kits ? Don’t you know that will make your RAM run in single channel mode and KILL your computer performance !
BeerGogglesFTW
I have my rad on the front panel on two of cases because of this.
Mounting on the top may be “best” but it’s really not important or significant, so long as you have part of the rad so it’s above the CPU/pump

Remove your fan and trim it down to fit.
Drill new mounting holes for your radiator

I don‘t have much to add because people have given good ideas, but from looking at the 24 pin that has had to be so annoying to get in 😂
SwagChemist
Return and get the low profile gskill ram instead
KaptainSaki
Use aircooler
Broad_Rabbit1764
Zip tie fan slightly offset from radiator is a pretty cheap solution.
Fine_Act47
Swap with fans on front intake
revampedfr
this is why on my next upgrade im buying the largest motherboard i can find. no more cutting my hands up on a fucken pc
You can also can the AIO altogether and go air cooler instead
yourname92
You mean you can wont fit because of its placement to critical components.

Can’t believe in all these comments only once was it mentioned that OP should check the mounting position of the radiator. My money is on the 240 rad being in the 280 holes.
People telling this guy to get low profile ram LOL

Lemme guess, CPU is a glorified low end 6c from AMD?

Return the ram and buy low profile one like the one you already have.
Also the fans on the AiO are backwards you want it as exhaust not as intakes.
Kein_Plan16
Everybody suggest mounting the rad elsewhere or the fans. What about mount your Mobo on a lower position in your case if thats possible? (If not you can maybe drill new holes) 🤔🤷
The_Grungeican
put the rad at the front, and have the fans as intake.
hukkelis
Take radiator out, put ram in. Shimmy the radiator back or in a different place
iComplainAlot_
Take a little notch out from where it hits

Cheapest option is to take out the fan from there and tape it on from the outside.

This is why you check the size on everything you put in a case, and screw people that say “your case is too empty”.

I had a similar issue where radiator fans just wouldn’t fit. Ended up buying a pack of Lian Li Radiator offset brackets. $10 solution.
Hope it works for you!

Cheap: AIO in front
Costly: Get some RAM without any heatsink

You should have enough space to move the AIO fans horizontaly from the case

Buy the same ram you already have : a corsair vengeance lpx for low profile extension
