[SOLVED] Shorter cooling options for X7950x AM5 chipset?

I bought a Noctua NH-U14S cpu fan but it is too tall for my case. I only have 6" above the CPU. What's a good option?

Noctua make a lot of fans and coolers, which one did you get? Also, what is the make and model of your case, the motherbaord and the ram you're working with? We will need that info in order to understand clearance limitations.

I found that the Noctua NH-D12L is the best they make that will fit into a 4U rack case.
Update: I bought this 120mm cooler and it fit perfectly.
