Question ZALMAN S3 mid-tower case has no room for 240mm CPU cooler

[RetroMasterEX]

I had just bought the Thermalright Frozen Edge 240 CPU cooler for my gaming build computer. When I tried to install the radiator, there was no more room to install it, and I have the ZALMAN S3 mid=tower case. Should I get the full-tower case with a lot of room to install my CPU cooler, or get a smaller CPU cooler that would fit the inside of my desktop?

Here are the components of my build computer:

CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5500 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor

Motherboard - ASRock B450M PRO4 R2.0 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard

Memory - TEAMGROUP Elite 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 CL19 Memory

Storage - Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 2 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card - MSI GAMING X Radeon RX 570 4 GB Video Card

Case - ZALMAN S3 ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply - EVGA 500 W1 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

From the specs:
https://zalmanusa.com/products/s3
"Radiator Support Front:1 x 120mm, Rear:1 x 120mm"

Either get a different case, or a different CPU cooler.

For me, if a 120mm radiator were the max, then I would use an air cooler. Or get a different case if I were locked into a liquid cooler.

A good twin tower cooler will cost you less and cool equally well:
Your case permits air coolers up to 157mm tall.
r5 5500 is not a particularly hot processor.
Scythe mugen 6 will fit:
