I'm looking to upgrade my old system and my choice has been converging on Asus Prime x370 Pro board. I do however have one concern. In the case I have, the clearance between the top vrm heat sink and the radiator is extremely small)(see picture).There is no alternative mounting space for the radiator or the mobo, the case is Corsair Obsidian 550D. If anyone has that mobo, could you measure the height of the top vrm heatsink from the PCB? I cant find that information anywhere. I'm assuming the thickness of the PCB is the same as on my Gigabyte board

As an alternative, if someone knows a good ryzen board that doesnt have the same issue, feel free to recommend it. Thanks!

I make it 30mm, or a bit under, like 29mm. Mine is in a case and it is hard to see.

Would the testbench measurement produce a different result? :)
