The motherboard cpu socket is too high up the board and therefore the D15 sits too high up and overhangs the board by 10mm causing it not to fit in many small cases like the Ncase M1 and the Sugo 16. The way around this is to get a Asus X570-I (but then the D15 cooling fins will touch the GPU!) Noctua are sending me some brackets to change the orientation of the D15 on the board but I am wondering what new problems this would cause!? Anyone been here before?

(I am coming from a Velka 3 using a L9A to cool a 5900x!!!!)
