Anyone else running Noctua on their AM4? I had to get the NM-AM4 kit for my D9L, but I noticed that one of the "long bars" (the kit provides "short bars" that connect the AM4 posts horizontally for horizontal heatsink orientation, and "long bars" that connect the posts vertically for vertical heatsink orientation) touch the VRM heatsink on the B450I Aorus. It's not noticeably obstructed, but it does push that bar up slightly (maybe a fraction of a millimetre?), as while the Aorus heatsink has a bevelled edge, it's still an edge.
I'm just prepping everything today, will actually build on Friday, but I'm wondering if this is enough to mess with IHS contact. I guess I could run it vertically like I do right now, but it just really isn't optimal for cooling as the air enters my case directly overhead of the heatsink (from the outside perspective, it's the left side of the case) through a NF-F12 and then exits the case out the back via a NF-A9x14. With it vertically oriented (as it is awkwardly on my 4790K right now), it pulls air from the GPU backplate to try and spit it out the top of the case, in hopes that the A9x14 catches the air before it does so.
