Will a Noctua D15 fit?

[Typhoon99]

I was planning on building a new gaming rig, and I want to put a noctua D15 in a X-HERMES-BL case. The fan is 6.50" tall, and the case is 7.75" wide. Will that be enough room to house the fan on a Asus - STRIX Z270-E motherboard? If not, how much clearance would be recommended over the cooling fan?

Looks like the case has a 155 mm clearance for CPU coolers. And the D15 is 160 mm tall (165 mm with fan).

 

So seems like it doesn't fit.

Dark Rock 3 Pro is pretty much the same size as the D15.

 

Dark Rock 3 Pro is 150 x 137 x 163 (L x W x H).

 

Edit: D15 is 161 x 150 x 165. So only 2 mm difference in terms of height.

You should consider getting like H7 or M9i/a. Do you have case already? You can re-check by measuring distance between CPU and side panel.
