It turns out I can do fuckall with my nh-d15 on my new setup. GPU wont fit full stop. Im very skeptical with trying to purchase nh-d15s this time around, as Im pretty sure I wont be able to use the offset mounting kit for it without running into the same issues that need that cooler to begin with.

Is there a cooler that is just straight up for am5 and cools like a champ? No fucking around with offsets and such. Can be AIO for all I care.

    An mATX with two RAM slots? It really is sounding like an ITX board, lol. Is the primary SSD slot PCIe5 also?

      Maybe. But on the other hand:

      1. Current zen4 CPUs have issues with 4 sticks.
      2. 4 sticks do not mean a substantial performance difference as it will use same amount of channels(maybe even worse as the clocks are lower?).
      3. Every singular RAM stick is already technically dual channel so 2 slots are already quad.
      4. 96GB maximal memory is supported now. Probably even more in the future.
      5. Also this board can overclock to and use 8000Mhz sticks without batting an eye. Although not that useful yet.

      There are 2 PCIe5 SSD slots and 1 PCIe4.
