The Ninja2 just barely fits and is so tight that it touches part of the case support structure. Any suggestions on the best course of action?

are the fins touching the structure, or is it the hex bolt covers?

those covers on the heatpipes come off, so if that's what's needed, that's a simple fix unless you want to leave the covers on.

The top fin is touching. I could bend the top couple of fins in one corner down a mm or 2 or I could bend the case support out of the way.

Maybe I should just get a smaller heat sink. With the MB layout the Ninja 2 is blocking the PSU fan intake (the fins of the Ninja are only .25" from the PSU).

The CPU is a 9650.
