I’ve heard rumours of this, some reporting great temps but others reporting problems like you say. Don’t suppose anyone knows why this is?

I had issues with a H7 Quad Lumi + Ryzen, the issue I had was due to the Ryzen IHS being flat and the cold plate of the cooler having a convex bow to it, it effectively meant that the top half of the CPU (when socketed, right half when viewing text) made zero contact with the cooler. Unfortunately on my 3600 that is the part of the IHS that is directly over the primary heat source/chiplet.
The gap at the top edge was comfortably over 1mm.

Is there any 2 Tower Cooler with 2x 120x25mm Fan that fit in the NR200 with TG Panel?

I saw someone in the states tried using a Vetroo U6 which is dual tower, on the Aorus B550i, that fit with no issues in terms of clearances for TG as it is 152mm tall.
Here's what he said on fitment issues - Basically that low profile RAM is needed:

May I ask actually for one more piece of advice on the CPU cooler. I found a few available options in the end and being no expert on cooling would be great to hear your opinions.
Be Quiet BK007 Pure Rock 2 Black CPU Cooler, 120MM PWM Fan, Fits Both Intel And AMD Sockets, Three Year Cover : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories - £40
SCYTHE SCMG-5PCGH Mugen 5"PCGH Edition" CPU cooler : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories - £60
Scythe Fuma 2 Rev.B CPU Air Cooler, Intel LGA1700, LGA1151, AMD AM4/Ryzen 120mm, Dual Towers, Black Top Cover : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories - £70

SCYTHE SCFM-2000 FUMA 2, CPU cooler - 2x120 mm : Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories - £80
I understand that for Ryzen 5 5600 I probably don't need the best cooler on the market. My top priority is for it to actually work as it should (keep temps low) and work quietly.
Thanks!
The Pure Rock 2 will work fine for either the Intel or AMD build. If you were going with an i7 then you'd want the Fuma 2 rev B.Michal95 said:

The difference between Gen3 NVMe and Gen4 NVMe is bandwidth, not speed. Speed is upto the vendor, the controller used etc.
With the difference in bandwidth and generally speeds, everything else has to be taken into account as well. With NVMe you are talking nanoseconds difference in bytes. Just as example, say the ram takes a full second to get the data, and ship it through to the cpu. As long as the storage can supply that data in less than a second, there's no hold up, no bottleneck. So it doesn't really make a difference if the storage can supply that file in 1/2 a second or 1/4 of a second.
That's how they work with game files, as the individual files are very small, a few Kb or at most a few Mb. It's Large files where Gen4 outshines Gen3, not in game files but in single legal documents, entire games as a zip file etc where you are looking at multiple Gb, that's when the bandwidth of the ram becomes a choke point and needs to shove the entire file through asap, meaning the entire file needs to get to the ram asap.
So if you basically rarely ever have need for such huge file movement, there's little to no difference in ability between Gen3 NVMe and Gen4 NVMe as the files get to the ram faster than the ram can deal with it fully. Which is partly on the cpu to demand the files in the first place. If the cpu doesn't need the file right then, it sits in the ram waiting to move on, so the speeds it enters the ram become moot, as long as it's done faster than the demand throughput.
Also to consider is how ssds work. The files don't have a set physical location like a hdd where an arm must travel to reach the physical location. The info is at a virtual address, or basically right there in front, nothing in between. And that info is spread throughout the entire ssd. A ssd has pockets that store the data as a voltage, and only a certain amount of those pockets. The larger the drive, the more pockets it has, so the less often each individual pocket is used. Which means a 2Tb NVMe will last a whole lot longer than a 256 or 512Gb drive overall. Initial outlay might be more, but over time the value of £ to pocket becomes less.
