From my understanding, there are three things to consider. Making sure the CPU cooler is LGA 1155 compatible, the CPU cooler is rated for 65W TDP or higher, and the CPU cooler will fit in the case. Yes, it is an AM4 CPU but the mounting holes are for an LGA1155 cooler. Probably cost saving for the company. Most coolers will have LGA and AM4 mounting parts, just make sure you dont get a AM4 only model. The width of the case is 155.4mm (15.54 cm) Out of the low-profile coolers from Noctua, the NH-C14S is the only one that will fit in the case and is rated for the 4700G. Height (with fan) 115 mm / 142 mm. 115 with fan mounted at the bottom and 142 with the fan mounted on top. https://ncc.noctua.at/cpus/model/AMD-Ryzen-7%204700G-1040 One video stated that a Vetroo V5 is too tall (148mm) to fit in the case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKQPIwig464&t=505s Not sure as for other brands since many do not list what TDP they rated up on their website to so you'd have to do some research. The Thermaltake Gravity i2 or the ARCTIC Alpine 12 CO maybe viable options. Hard to say what works best since only one person has a video with a different cooler but it was water cooled instead of air cooled.
