Hello! I'm planning on building myself a PC and im having trouble with the ram clearance for my cooler, im thinking of buying a NH-D15 or be quiet's Dark Rock Pro 4 but the ram that i want to get the Teamforce xtreem ARGB ( i can't find the non-rgb one in my country so far) is 49.77mm high and neither of these coolers have enough room to fit them in, the NH-D15 only supports up to 32mm high according to their website whereas the dark rock pro 4 only supports up to 40mm from what i've read online. i thought about buying and  raising the fans on the NH-D15 as i've read their fins that attach the fan to the heatsink is smaller than the Dark Rock one so i can move them further up but i wont get far with that as my case only supports up to 167mm when it comes to cooler clearance.... what should i do ? should i reconsider my ram choice or is there anything else i can do? (and sorry for bad sentence structure if everything is abit jumbled) :/

You can also reconsider your cooler choice. The Noctua NH-U12S has 100% ram compatibility and only a bit less cooling capacity than the Dark Rock Pro 4 or D15. For the 2 coolers you mentioned i'd strongly recommend to only get low-profile memory like Corsair Vengeance LPX or Crucial Ballistix for example.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.

Thank you.... But i cant seem to find any of the ram you've mentioned so far around here (Cambodia) but i can bug my sister and ask her to buy and ship it to me from Australia but i want that to be my last resort if possible and Noctua products are somehow rare in Cambodia i've only found out that one of the stores from around where i am has the NH-D15 recently but i've sadly havent seen any other models other than that, im always checking to see if they do though so i'll definitely be on the look out for the NH-U12S

I used a 120mm fan on the RAM side of my D15 to clear RAM and still be able to close the case.

 

*Edit* The D15 clears 64mm RAM height with no fan on that side.

You're right... i could also just remove the front fan and use only one fan to put in the middle.... also considering that aswell, thank you!
