Enclosure Will a Noctua C14S and Gigabyte X570 Pro Wifi ITX fit in a Jonsbo U1 PLUS case?

"CPU Cooler：Not higher than 133MM"

"Height (with fan): 115 / 142 mm"
https://noctua.at/en/nh-c14s
Which means the cooler will fit, but with one fan underneath the fins only, in 'Low profile mode':
But then you are restricted to 40mm RAM or, if higher, to install the cooler in a specific orientation in order not to interfere with the RAM.
Noctua's compatibility checker also states:
"Caution: Heatsink will overhang the edge of the board by about 1 cm, thus please double-check case compatibility"

According to this picture, where the mobo is a MSI B450I GAMING PLUS AC without such a caution, 1cm will be a really tight fit if you have to offset the cooler towards the top.
But checking if it fits or not is part of the SFF fun, you got to do you homework mate
What I will do is getting the drawings of both the mobo and the cooler at 1:1 scale and see in drawing software how the cooler could be positioned with the RAM in mind. And then see if such position(s) could be compatible with the case.

I would say it is very unlikely because of the 1cm overhanging. Along with RAM restriction, a deeper check is needed anyway.

Thanks. I had a 5900x and a 3060 in a 3.9 litre Velka 3 v2, cooled by a Noctua L9A and it was noisy. Currently I have no case and use a Noctua U9S and its still noisy but it doesnt ramp up as much. I have bought a C14S and will get it soon.
The problem is that after the Velka, every case will seem massive and now I don't know which case to get. I have a Gigabtye x570 ITX and noticed that the CPU socket sits higher than normal and thisis what causes the C14S to overhang by 1cm.
