Depends on your desired overclock. I have Dark Rock Pro 4 on my 8700k and its cooling it like a champ. 5Ghz 1.31V and my temps are 65-70c in heavy gaming load (Battlefield 5), and 55-60 on lower loads like Witcher 3, Metro Exodus etc.

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus ROG Strix B650E / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Devil/ EVGA 750W GQ / NZXT H5 Flow

Negative on the NH-D15 the cooler height is 165mm so it's too tall for your case, not sure what the Be quiet one is. Just make sure the cooler you want is under 160mm in height.

No, it doesn't fit. The DRP4 is too tall at 163mm. 

What ram are you using? Are you aiming to oc?

The NH-D15 heatsink is 160mm tall. The cooler is 165mm tall with the fans in the default position but they can be mounted lower.

The best air cooler for that 160mm clearance are Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT and Noctua NH-U12A and Scythe Fuma, the NH-U12A is the most expensive, the El Macho is cheaper and performs at the same level as the U12A, Fuma has better value than the others.

 

I would personally get the El Macho.
