    Optimum Tech just put out a video on that subject. Different case but good info on air cooling Ryzen 5000 series in SFF. Hope this helps.

    The rack I'm referring to is part of the case. You can put two 2 1/2 ssds or 1 3 1/2 HHD. https://cougargaming.com/global/img/products/cases/qbx/08.png. I will do a ssd test for you cuz I don't remember but I don't have overheating problems with either ssd front or back. As a precaution I did...

    Thank you. Define problem ?. I fits height wise with the fan mounted below the cooler and without the inner memory rack installed. Although it did take some cutting of the psu mount bracket.
