Very strange. Perhaps I got a batch that uses different screws? I'm actually going to switch out my CPU cooler just for fun this weekend when I get the 5700x. I bought the id cooling IS-60 EVO and I'll use just the bottom fan (and swap that fan out with a noctua). It will only be 45mm tall without the 120mm fan on top. I can post an update when I do it this weekend, but I do think the temps will be even better due to more and bigger fins.
