With the A4's limit of 47mm coolers, combining a 27mm high cooler (such as the Dynatron R15) with a 25mm Noctua fan shouldn't be possible to cool anything with Asrock's x299 ITX board..
That being said, with a delided and direct die frame there would be no IHS and the cooler would be mounted closer to the die, potentially giving more space.. Does anyone know exactly how thick the IHS is for the Skylake X series of chips? if it is approximately 5mm thick, is it possible to make that 47mm of CPU cooler height clearance 52mm by removing that IHS?
