In my situation, I had to exchange the Noctua NH-L9 because it didn't clear the RAM slots... Shuriken handled that. Regarding Q58, it's a fairly large case, which goes against your preference for compact designs. In this size, I'd prefer Graphite 380T if available, even used.

Size-wise it fits well, except for the fact that it doesn't match my carry on the Graphite 380T—it's too big. The clearance on the Q58 is 67mm, and I'm considering a BeQuite LP pure rock with under voltage the 5900x. No other alternatives came up, except for 120mm AIOs, but those won't cool the VRMs effectively. The sururen is also too large for this setup.

By the way, could you say whether increasing the fan airflow in the case would help the VRMs? That way I could potentially use a liquid 120mm one.

Would you like to find a way to do it without the fan pointing at the socket area? For BeQuite LP, I’d also look into ID-COOLING IS-60.

I've reviewed it and it works quite well.
I checked the following review:
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGnJc5HuRC4&t=956s
and I believe I found the NH-L12 GHOST S1 EDITION. Based on noctua's compatibility chart, it suits both my case and helps with the 5900x, so I'm planning to choose that one.
I can't thank you enough
@vov4ik_il
, really appreciate it!
If you have any concerns about not choosing noctua, please let me know
