let's try and fit this totally overkill cooler into this tiny case because I wanna see if it fits

but first, some stress testing with the stock cooler

turns out it's perfectly adequate. let's replace it

@noiob god I read recently that some of the high end AMD CPUs just straight up can't be bought with a stock cooler anymore, like they're just not sold like that, the official reasoning being that no one who buys them would run them on a stock cooler anyways which, honestly, fair

@halcy yeah that's been the case for AMD for a while

@halcy though their Ryzen stock coolers are very nice, some even have RGB 😄
