Hey, I ended up purchasing the case on the /r/hardwareswap subreddit and the black ridge cooler on OCUK. The cooler was a bit of an impulse buy at around $110 CAD after duties.

According to this redditor, the asus strix is compatible with the cooler if you don't use the m.2 heat sink.

The asrock phantom gaming looks to have no issues.

The msi mpg gaming also seems to have no issues. However, on the /r/SFFPC discord, I was told to stay away from the msi b550i mpg because of quality issues and the front panel usb c only supports speeds up to 5gbps compared to asus and asrock 10gbps
