The photo shows the Thermalright Cooler (95x95). It seems like a tight fit. Does anyone have a photo of the ID Cooling IS 50 or 55? Thanks! John

Are you referring to "inside the case" or in general?

Be aware: This also depends on what mainboard and platform you want to use it. Apparently, Gigabyte boards tend to have a higher socket than the rest (1 - 2 mm), and also, AM5 apparently has generally taller sockets (also about 1 - 2 mm). Eg. while I was easily able to install the Thermalright AXP120-X67 on my i5-13500 (MSI B760) in the S400, I wasnt able to do the same with my 7950X + Asrock B650E PG-ITX.
A test fit with my Asrock Z690 PG-ITX + i5-12400 showed its indeed the platform, as the cooler fit properly again.

ID-Cooling IS-55 is 57 mm tall (and so is the iS-50), thus with an AM5 board (X600) it might even be 59 mm tall.
Other 120 mm variants:

- The AXP-100-Cu / Full Copper - which seems to be the cooler depicted here - is 58 mm tall (original fan is 108 x 108 x 14 mm)
- Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev B - 58 mm height
- Alpenföhn Blackridge in low profile mode - 47 mm, BUT: RAM clearance lowered to 18 mm, IDK if that would work here

... and thats it for the regular 120 mm fan gang.

But apparently there are 92-to-120 mm offset fan adapters for Thermalright 92 mm coolers, so eg. the AXP90-X53 or AXP90-X47 could be other good options.

95mm is indeed a tight fit between RAM and the mosfet heatsink .
This is the depth of the NH-L9i which collides with the latter. But loosening the screws of the mosfet heatsink lets you installed it, @Curiosity's tips

Here under the perfect fit with a Jonsbo HP-400S (103x92mm):

No dice finding pictures of the ID-Cooling coolers you mention attached on the Deskmini, all I found is the IS-40X (v.2 I think, 101x94mm):

I was looking at the 3D custom case "DeskStudio" that comes in 3 heights. It is made for a 120mm x25mm fan. It lists cooler heights of 23,33,&43 mm without fan. If I'ma reading the ID cooling site correctly, the IS 50 & 55 have heights of 41 & 40 mm (without fan). The thermalright APX heights are 32 & 36 mm (without fan). I was thinking about the ID coolers, but am worried about the 120mm width. Thanks for both comments.....very helpful! John

Ok, just pulled the IS-55 V3 from its package and measured the sizes for you: cooler by itself is 42 - 43ish mm, and with fan its between 57 and 58 mm (the anti-vibration corners add about 1 mm). What they apparently ignore with their own calculations: the mounting plate for the fan, which adds about 1 - 1.5 mm. So the cooler by itself is probably 41 mm - technically correct, but for installation? Not helpful.

Maximum RAM height still remains at about 31 mm.
