i had fitment issues with the Noctua NH-C14s when using the included am4 kit with my 5800x on an MSI MPG B550I GAMING EDGE MAX WIFI mobo. the cooler would protrude from the top of the case by a few mm. good thing the top panel comes off. i had to 3d print me some custom retention mechanisms to space out the top panel. unfortunately its no longer flush with the case and it looks kind of weird. i was thinking of ordering me a laser cut acrylic piece to fill the gap which i can light from the inside for cool effect. or i might just switch to a different cooler or an aio, whichever approach is cheaper.
