Is there a decent air cooler that fits into this case for the Ryzen 9 5950X?

An NH-U12A or even NH-U12S should work fine, though ideally I'd get a case that isn't a hotbox.

Case is rated for 165mm CPU cooler height, even the ever loved Hyper 212 will fit at 159mm.

And... I used a hyper 212 for years on a FX-8350, which has a higher TDP than the 5950X.

Thanks everyone! Right now that's the only case available that I can use. Of course I'd prefer a better one if I could

If I do decide an AIO / water cooling - what's the best budget cooler?
