Hi there, I was wondering if you could give me some help on cooling options for the Dan case? My issue is the motherboard (Asus ROG Strix Z370-I), because I wanted to use the Cooltek LP53 + Noctua NF-A9x14 PWM for cooling, but then I found out I would need to shave off parts of my motherboard to make it fit.

So I was wondering what cooling options I have that are reliable, and don't involve me shaving off parts of my motherboard? Here are my specs:

@Thehack makes a 92mm fan adapter for C7 Cu. That pair should keep your motherboard intact. Based on your parts list, another option that keep your motherboard intact would be the Noctua L9i (maybe the L9x65 but I'd double check the specs). You can also look at this google sheet that has recommended CPU coolers for the A4 and other SFF cases. Hope this helps!
