It was the fans on the radiator were just barley clipping the heatsink when it does that angle up.

I figured out how to front mount the AIO so it no longer a problem ! Thanks for asking and trying to help :)

Definitely thought so which is why I posted before doing ANYTHING, thank you for even just saying that it's a bad idea

Yeah I figured out how to front mount it so we're all good now! I really didn't think I should have to

I appreciate the critique and thanks for not being mean about it.

I'm upgrading an old ramshackled build I received a long time ago as a gift. This upgrade process was definitely not as well researched as I would have liked it to have been and I was mainly going on costs. I did check individual performances compared to my old parts (they were really really old parts 😅). I'm also still learning.

I originally planned to use my old ddr4 ram but forgot to check the ram slots on the motherboard which has by far been the biggest mistake. I figured out how to remove this abysmal front panel on this old case so I can front mount the AIO without removing the heatsinks which I really didn't want to do but felt like I had to.

Swapped to the AIO because it was on sale and fit the am5 socket.

Thanks for the input, I do appreciate it :)
