Does anyone know if the Noctua NH-D15 will fit in a Fractal Define S with two sticks of Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM? I'm honestly thinking about converting over from my NZXT AIO to air cooling. The pump on my NZXT x41 is failing and I'm kind of over water cooling. Don't feel like spending $300+ to upgrade to the x62 and x42. Tired of pump noise, CAM software, etc.

 

My full build is here: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/bcnnTW

 

Thanks for the help.

Yes, but you might need to move the fan up a little bit. The cooler has a 32mm clearance with the front fan installed in it's default position. The corsair lpx has a height of 31mm or 34mm with the connectors.  You could also try something like be quiet's dark rock pro 4, which has a ram clearance of 40mm. And nice build you got there ?

It fits fine. 

LPX is standard profile which nearly all coolers including the NH-D15 are designed to clear.

Thanks. Hard to believe I built it almost 4 years ago. I learned a lot back then, but I’ve forgot a lot of what I learned haha
