I have just installed my Ryzen 3700X, Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite and Team Group Edition RAM.

I'm now looking for a better CPU cooler, but noticed the RAM sticks need a 45.6mm clearance.

Was about to purchase the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, but just seen it only has a 40mm clearance.

What would be a best alternative option for me?

Also, just seen on the RAM description:

"Furthermore the PCB cover of the heatspreader can be removed, which reduces the total height to just 37 mm and markedly increases compatibility with larger CPU coolers."

Is this a simple and okay process to do? (Not really looking to overclock the RAM) Never heard of being able to do this before/have never done it and not really sure what I'd have to do.

If it's simple then could do that and would fit the Be Quiet!
