As a part of the fun I always try to find nice 2nd hand stuff. In this case a Blackridge and a Gygabyte b450i. So I saved some money and sent it to Alex for a Mjolnir;-)
As far as I read every body is going to build a 9 3950 system with Aio. I don't, I will use air only. Here you see how I made a BR fit on a B450:
To get it fit I had to take out a part of the fan. It was done with a dremel. The 4 holes for the 92mm fan had to be sanded, otherwise the fan blades would scratch them. This is the version with the old Am 2, 3 & 4 socket. I cut away the 2 & 3 version to get it smaller. (If you buy a new one you don't have to do this to get it fit)
Here are some other pictures. There is no processor on the board, so the hole system will rise 1 or 2 mm I suppose.
freonlike groetnis,
