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?

Nr200p + 3900x + Arctic 280 + ftw3 3070
First ever sff build. This was not easy. I seem to be a brute with my hands and have fucking in rear paws so I had my wife help out. I built this overkill rig for her anyway who just launched her website using nothing but a tablet.
Test fitting without the pump
Toiiiight
The 3070 and the noctua fans are kissing. I placed one of those rubber noctua connecter between the gpu and the fan all the way at the end to assure there isn't contact and to avoid extra sag. This gpu is a big Boi.
My favorite side because it just looks clean.
The lil beast
All in all this was very fun. Mostly because my awesome wife helped me do it. She made a single mistake in connecting the front panel connectors but we figured it out within minutes of trying to boot lol. It's so quiet and cool that it's making me want to finally ditch my 760t that's been breaking the silence in our room for the last 5 years. I'm starting to look around to see what I can do with my rig to downsize even if it isn't as small as this.
Some tips so you don't make the same mistakes I did if you go with the same and cooler: the Psu should be put on the lowest setting possible or the top panel won't close with the fsnt mounted on top. Test fit everything so you know once everything is screwed on you won't have to open it back up again. Be ready to move cables away from fans if when you boot you hear the fans rubbing on anything. I had to bend the frame slightly to squeeze the rad in. Was willing to risk and Jerry rig it if I didn't fit but luckily didn't have to. Zip tie everything.
Specs:
Nr200p
B550i aorus pro ax
3900x
Arctic 280mm
Ftw3 3070
G skill ripjaw 3600mhz CL16 32gb kit.
Sf750 psu
15mm noctuas
660p 500gb os nvme
2tb sx8200 nvme for storage on the back.
