I just bought Ripjaw kit ( Cl 16 3200 hmz ) for 12400f + b660m-a combo and using NH D15 CPU Cooler. I realized this ram kit is bigger size than Corsair one. Shall I just return the kit and buy anonther brand ram or buy a new CPU cooler. In back then when I bought Corsair Vengeance RGB sticks and it didint fit so I had to buy lower profile rams and put them like this

RGB ones are inside cause of ram clereance and low profile ones are sitting under the fan. I could move the fan like another 0.5-1cm then it hits side glass panel.

You could always stick a 120mm on the front, should be fine. Or just run the center fan, probably be ok too.. or no fan.. I would try them all :D

Yup, definitely scraping the sides, with that little CPU I would try running no fans on the heatsink for that nice eery silence..
 
Ditch the fan in the front, let the one in the middle, you're gonna switch basically to a D15S and going about 1-2 degrees higher, that's all. I bought the NH-D15S for the exact same reason, RAM clearance, it's in my wife's build and working just fine.

I will try that. And also I realized when I open side panel. Cpu degrees going down 3-4C. Seems like not getting enough air or my room too hot

Open chassis's gonna be always cooler than with all panels in place, don't worry about it.

I dunno. A closed case is much easier for me to reason about.

I know that you'll get more airflow if you open the sides. But now the air is being sucked in and moving in unpredictable ways. Computer Cases are partially designed so that you can "easily reason" about the airflow: air comes in through the front and leaves out the rear and top. But if you open the sides, now air is going all over the place and you don't know the best design anymore.

I have run all of my current CPUs with no fans on a few of my coolers, temps are just fine, but I have a Torrent so I have good case flow. I was able to run my 5900X at 180w semi passive, my 58X3D has no business being under an AIO lol, it is super easy to cool.

That 12400F's gonna yell anyway that it's too cold and needs a blanket with that monstrosity on it :D
 
Sometimes too much is just enough :)

No fans is common on server class 2U designs.

Because the 2U rack is so straight and narrow, the 4 case fans in the front are sufficient for ALL cooling (CPU and GPUs included!!).

It's loud as hell though. But once again, it's about the overall design of the airstream and optimizing that.

The goal of any good air design is to have one source of cool air (for 2U servers, the front), and then one exhaust (for 2U servers, the rear). And secondly, you prove that all the moving air touches all the hot components and provides enough cooling.
 
Well I managed to fit it in but gave me error like change the slots from 1-3 to 2-4 dunno why

This is

Ditch the goddamn fan in front and put the memories in the corresponding slots, it even warns you that you put them incorrectly (most likely you messed up the memory channels and put the lowest height in A1/A2, isn't it?). You have to put them in pairs A2/B2 (first - that's 2-4 in your case)) and A1/B1 (second 1-3). Basically put the Corsair kit in 1-3 or 2-4 and G Skill likewise, not 1-2/3-4 combinations.
 
Nonono only put New gskill ones and removed the corsair ones. Moved from 1-3 to 2-4 solved evertything. Doouble fan not even touching rams

Previous one excatly was like you said. 4x8gb I replaced the kit with 2x16gb and activated xmp profile

does it work correctly ?

Yep, it does as far as I can tell, the timings and speed are what should be.
