Hi, i just on purchasing an ASUS B450-I Gaming Motherboard with Ryzen 5 2600, I am wondering if I can replace the AMD spire to a Wraith Prism RGB cooler,  Can fit in the motherboard with 2 Ram installed? I just got a free Wraith Prism from a friend who bought 2700x.

Cooling wise you're good, but as every motherboard is laid out differently, the best place to ask this question is the ASUS forums.

I would stay away from this sort of coolers coz it significantly heats up the system board area/components around the CPU - it's a design from back in the 70ies where such coolers were appropriate.

mini ITX are so tight that its hard to squeeze anything in

this is why I do not like them, hard to fit a CPU cooler etc
