Can the top fin of the Sniper X series be removed?

I'm thinking about buying the G. Skill Sniper X and I'm wondering, can the top fin be removed?

In this image, I'm referring to the camouflaged area.

I have a large CPU heatsink and I may have clearance issues with the RAM.

No, it is not designed to be a swappable.

Which cooler and motherboard do you have?

MSI X99A Godlike motherboard and Cryorig R1 Ultimate in a North-South configuration (it can not fit in a East-West configuration without taking up the first PCIe x16 slot).
