Asus X570-i Strix work without heatsink over m.2?
I've been posting a decent bit the past few days about prepping for a velka 7 build. I currently have an MSI B550-i board, but with the velka 7 not having front i/o, it might be nice to get a board that has more of it. The Asus Strix looks great, but I'm also trying to see if putting a black ridge cooler with a 120mm underneath will work (I have vlp memory). I don't know a whole ton about motherboards, so I was hoping to get your opinion as somebody here has probably done something similar. Thanks again for all of this community's help, you're all amazing.

Best AM4 Cooler That Fits in Dancase A4
So im running into a bit of trouble with my current build. I just picked up a DanCase A4 and just finished moving it from a Thermaltake Lanbox vf1000bws. Now, it seems that the cooler cant keep up in such a small space and I thought Id ask for peoples opinions on cooler options on here. Im running a Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.9 GHz with a Noctua NH-L9a.
Im currently undervolted so I know its a cooler issue as well.

Need suggestions on building an HP Compaq 5750 rig
I recently inherited a bunch of HP Compaq 5750s and I would like to turn them into something usable for even at least light gaming.
These things are ancient: they come pre-installed with Windows XP and used the AMD Athlon 64 X2.
I don't mind replacing the motherboard and all, as long as it's something more modern and it won't involve modifying the case. Any suggestions?

Experiences with Casekraken
I had bought a Casekraken case last year through unconventional means, I contacted them through Instagram and paid with PayPal as the other payment options were not available to me. Now they took forever to ship it, sure, that's fine, I didn't have many expectations of overnight shipping or anything.
However, I changed my mind and went with a Nr200P. So I contacted them again to see if I could cancel my order as it wasn't shipped yet, since then I got little reply, a short answer every couple weeks at best. Now it's march and I still have not received my money, or my case (which would be less favourable). I have contacted them on multiple occasions trying to get my money or at least a reply, I'm not heartless, if there's something real life holding you up that's absolutely fine, but I would like to know if you need more time.
They seemed like a reputable vendor and they are active in this subreddit and I can hear all of you thinking: "Just make a PayPal dispute" and ultimately I will, but I would much rather know what's holding you up and if anyone else has had any experiences with them.

IS-60 and MSI B450i= Not tight enough?
So I recently got my system running and I noticed that the Heatsink doesn't actually makes good contact with my CPU, R5 3400G.
I can clearly see a little gap between the HS and the cpu. When I take off the heatsink, the Thermal compound isn't well distributed at all. It's like a concentrated blob, instead of a thin layer of paste.
Is there any way to fix this?
Maybe buy longer screws or maybe buy a backplate?

Thermalright CPU cooler for Node 202
I have a Node 202 since a couple of years. Until Christmas time I was running a Ryzen 3 1200 with a Spire cooler with on top a Noctua 90mm fan (tight but it fitted). Then, I have upgraded to a Ryzen 3300x that unfortunately runs much hotter. As I want something cool and quiet, I had to set its TDP to 45 W to make it works.
I am looking now for a better solution. In the past I saw a lot of people suggesting the Cryorig C7 or ID cooling IS 60, are they still valid? I saw that now Thermalright sells two models, the axp 90 and 100 that looks better for the price: any opinion on those?
