You can always just move the front fan to the other side in pull.

Hi there. I am considering buying the. Noctua NH-D15 however my current ram does not make the hight restrictions. I want to run it in dual fan which means a 30ish mm clearance. My case is a master box 5 so there is not much head room to move the fan up. What is a good low profile ram for this fan. Ideally 30mm and I do want it to have a heatspreader on it. Thanks

What about buying an AIO? Clearance is good that way, and you don't need to spend the extra money replacing your RAM.

(Plus, it looks better)

i kind of decided against it. It's not worth the extra price to performance and I don't have much space for a decent AIO

With the money I would have to spend on a larger AIO I might as well get more ram any way. Besides my ram need an upgrade.

Ok did you have to move up your fan at all to make it fit. I only have a 2 mm clearance to move up my fan. I read online that the hight is 34mm and I would only have 32mm total.

You can always just move the front fan to the other side in pull.
