Why this page is stricter than the general list
Owners report some third-party coolers that sit at the very edge of the limit closing on one console and not another. We have no measurements to settle that, so this page takes the cautious route and shows only models with a verified fit, leaving out the "Check height" listings that appear on the general heatsink page.
