I’ve seen people recommend the Noctua nh-l9a-am4, but noctua themselves say it can’t handle the base clock of the 3800x. The case I’m planning to get has only 48mm of clearance for a CPU cooler so I’m not sure if I’m gonna need to pick a new one, since I’m not able to find anything so far (I already have the CPU from another build).

I’ve been looking at the Thermalright AXP90-X47 full copper, but I don’t know if it can really cool the CPU, and I’m looking to see if anyone has anything they’ve tried before so I can get some advice.
