Do Noctua NF-A12x15 fan blades stick out of the fan's frame?
Since no one was able to help me figure this out, I decided to order the fan and learn the hard way. Luckily, Noctua NF-A12x15 does NOT have fan blades sticking out of the fan's frame (at least my sample doesn't, I don't know if it can vary slightly from sample to sample). It solved the issues I had before (see my original message).
Off topic: Surprisingly, it actually performed slightly better at cooling than ID-Cooling 12015 that I originally used. -2°C CPU temp, which is weird since the latter creates more static pressure (2.57 > 1.35mm H2O), which supposedly is better for heatsinks. Again, maybe due to the issues I had it didn't perform up to the spec, I should have concluded the test on the open bench without the case cover before and after...
Anyways, hope this will help others in similar situation.
