I would appreciate it if you posted if this resolves the problem, it could help others as well who run into the same issue.

I did a quick measure, and on the side where, the usb and power button is, there is 5mm more clearance.
So it wouldn't help switching the panels arround.

Why is your cpu so hot with so much rad? What fittings did you use?

I geuss the internal TIM are rubbish, and that's why it's running kinda high temps.
But it also needs IMO quite high v core to be stable. 4.7ghz @ 1.448-1.456 v core

I used these fittings
EK - ¼" BSPP (G1/4) - ½" (12mm) - High Flow Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

High Flow - ¼" BSPP (G1/4) - ½" (12mm) Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

High Vcore, and inability of the small cpu die to properly evacuate the heat from it's internals. Will become a bigger problem the smaller the size die's shrink too, and we have to consider leakage currents due to the smaller (closely spaced) gates.

a single 240mm rad will keep thiat system nice and cool, but OP needs to drop Vcore down to around 1.25's, and temps would sit at around 60-65 loaded.
