Departure ?
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

Sorry about rejecting "DEPARTING", but it didn't quite fit the first part of the clue.

No worries I thought it was one or the other - I just chose the wrong one first.

Not what's usually done DEPARTURE - as in "departure from our usual procedures".
on leaving DEPARTURE - as in "use the departure terminal on leaving the country"

I almost enjoy speedrunning Wordle more than the game itself.
Maybe there is a Wordle speedrunning community...

After checking the specs before I bought, and getting nowhere with a visual inspection after the parts arrived, I was pulling my hair out with anxiety over this CPU cooler fitting my chassis. I figured it would be tight.
Anxiety is a big deal for me generally speaking so I go to great lengths to minimize it where I can.
To that end, I started assembling my motherboard/CPU even though I don't have all the parts for the system yet - still waiting on my system drive.
The cooler was very elaborate and took me awhile to get the universal mounting system set up. Also is it just me or is "ZIF socket" something of a misnomer? That lever pushes down so hard I thought I might break something!
Anyway, after yanking my current PCs cabling and dragging it over to my desk, pulling the panel off the side, and taking my then assembled motherboard sans ram and NVMe, and sticking it directly flush with the motherboard in it, i have like an inch or so to spare! I can hardly believe it. It looked so close from the specs, and from the eyeballing it.
So that was a lot of time to put everything together only to take it apart and box it up again until Wednesday, but it was so worth it.
If it didn't fit, at minimum that meant ordering 4 (quality) low profile fans at fairly significant cost, and then waiting for them to ship.
I didn't want to have to go there. I've already spent my budget on the PC and going over that feels like failure, but also I want this over with. That's the most important thing.
That's a lot of pressure off me. If I wasn't such a worrier I wouldn't believe I'd be so worried over something so inconsequential in the big picture, but here I am, and that's been me for the past several years.
Oh well. Endeavor complete, test fitment sorted. One less concern.

ZIF stands for zero insertion force . In the "good old days", pushing chips into sockets required a few tens of grams of force per pin. For 14, 16, up to 64 pins in dual-inline format, not a real issue. Now you have monsters around 1000 pins, so the insertion force would be getting up to human body weight. So they use ZIF sockets, where the lever closes a pair of contact leaves against each pin via cams.
FWIW the first time I met ZIF sockets was in PROM programmers. Too long ago to think about.

Yeah, I'm aware. The issue is the lever requires serious force - at least on an LGA1700 socket in order to reseat it with the cpu in place. Like I said, I thought I was going to break something. It felt like forcing it.

What cooler did you end up getting ?
I'm using a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 for my i5-13600; temperature are OK while gaming (cool ambient temperature)
I'll probably add some extra exhaust fans in the future when ambient temperature get higher.
It barely fits in the case (1 inch clearance to the side glass pane).
I've not tuned anything yet.
I've also busted my budget (bricked a motherboard).
