The NH-D15 fixed the RAM clearance problem but not the problem of interfering with the first expansion slot which is the reason that the first expansion slot on high end motherboards are usually a x1 to support multi GPU setups and high end air cooling.

yeah it was awkward, I am building my PC soon, and was looking at it before the D15 was announced and looked really awkward and had to settle on the D12S, but since I have not built my PC yet I am going to go with the D15

Well, for quietness and coolness, you have to sacrifice somethings.  The NH-D15 fixes some problems, except the GPU one, but more and more motherboards are having a smaller slot, then the first 16x slot, so it doesn't matter to much.

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

Coolers don't have RAM clearance problems. Shitty tween yoloswag RAM with huge useless combs have cooler clearance problems.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

I actually completely agree. The heatsinks are there just for looks but can often sacrifice functionality.

strip yer ram naked they work (not all though). then buy a large case like the 900D or something like case labs and fill it with gt 5400rpm fans or something and forget about it (well you could hardly forget the noise).

Live your life like a dream.

I honestly didn't mind it when I had my K2 (basically a prettier D14). It was massive, but I could reach everything and it was really easy to take off and put on.

My corsair vengence yoloswag huge comb prevented me from getting the D14.
