Hello chaps!
 

I'm debating on getting an NH-U12S, but I'm a bit worried about cleareance, according to Noctua's site, it should fit, but I'm using 4 corsair vengeance rgb pro ram sticks, so I am a bit worried about clearance there.

Has anyone had a similiar build to this, and if so, how has that worked out for you?:)

Parts below for ease of communication.

I'm currently using the Wraith Prism, which has the clearance for the ram here, but its pretty close in there.
The case apparently has a 160mm headway, the cooler needs 158.
I'm worried the ram slot will be blocked, or the ram will be too tall..

Thank you in advance, peeps.:)

You can get away with resting the fan on top of the memory if need be, though I briefly used a U12S (upgraded to a D15) with Ripjaw Vs and didn't have any clearance issues.  Heat spreader on the Ripjaw Vs is about 30mm tall at its highest point.  Anything's going to be better than that Wraith though.

The NH-U12S doesn't block the ram. https://pcpartpicker.com/b/dm4nTW
