Hey everyone! I just purchased an Arctic 240mm Liquid Freezer 3 cooler, but I'm having trouble fitting it into my Fractal Design case. It seems my RAM sticks are blocking the radiator, and if I remove them, the radiator still doesn't fit. I can't fit it in the front either, and it looks like I'm about 5mm short. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve this issue without having to buy a new cooler or case?

Unfortunately, the Arctic Liquid Freezer radiators are thicker than the average ones, which means they're a tight fit in many cases. If it doesn't fit on the top or the front, it might be worth considering a different cooler. It's a bummer, but sometimes you just can't make it work without compromising other parts like your RAM.
What model of Fractal Design case do you have? They have quite a few different models, and that could really change how things fit. Knowing the exact model might help suggest specific solutions!
It's the North Chalk White model.
