Not wide enough for Noctua and ASUS WRX80E

ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI AMD Threadripper Pro EATX motherboard features Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 for CPU cooling. Noctua pierces the width of the case by 3 or 4mm. The side glass panel has to wrap around the Noctua, which is in contact with the glass (pushing it outwards), thereby deforming it. This constant pressure on the glass means that the metal hinges glued to the glass very slowly come loose. A solution might be to swap out the two Lian Li side panels; ie the pane of glass is on the right instead of the left. But the two panels don't have the same leg position, which precludes a creative solution (swap). By pulling on these covers, e.g. B. when disconnecting plugs, they move about 2 mm. This creates a feeling of a loose connection. The PCIe slot covers should not move at all. ______________________________ Noctua supplies metal screws for its fans, the heads of which do not line up securely with the screw holes in the Lian Li case. If the Noctua screws are overtightened, they will pop right out through the 4mm wide screw holes. 4mm is the tolerance for docking the door to the Tesla electric vehicle body. 4mm is a good target for cars, but not for computer case design. _____________________________ The metal top cover and metal right side cover are made of brushed steel with razor sharp edges and micro-grooves on the surface. I ran my hand too close to the top to find a piece of joint lying on the lid near the rim. He cut the skin from my joint with the precision of a microtome; The cut is deep enough to bleed. Both of these steel toes have surfaces that will also cut when touched on their flat surfaces. Get my point, touch either of these covers. Then use the flashlight to examine the spot you just touched. There you will find leather; no grease, no oil, no fingerprints. No matter how clean your hands are, even if you clean them like a surgeon, every touch of these two surfaces leaves skin behind. These two covers represent Edward Scissorhands among the computer cases. Microgrooves on their surface make cleaning difficult.
