New Processor fan!

[Im Eric]

Hello , I bought a new computer a few months ago . The thing is that the computer sounds ALOT , The processor fan could be up to 5800 rpm at 70-80 percent usage. So have decided to buy a new cooler, I've Checked around online and Nuctuas nh 15 seems really good! Have also thought about buying and Fractal Design R4 when the fan does not fit in my current chassis .

 

These are my current specs

 

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650

Amd A8 5600K

Cooler Master Elite 120

Ram

Motherboard

 

Here it says that the Noctua NH- D15 does not work with my motherboard. While here it says my motherboard can works with Noctua NH - D15?

 

Does anyone know if this will fit?

It's not compatible. http://noctua.at/main.php?show=compatibility_gen&products_id=68&lng=en

It's insane to buy Noctua D15 to cool APU, better get something like CM 212 EVO.

It should fit on the board fine but you might run into some issues with ram fitment. A low pro ram setup might fit under the fan or you will have to offset the fan on the ram side higher. If you google nh-d15 on m-itx there are plenty that work but the ram is questionable.

It's very expensive and you don't need such a strong one. A cheap single tower cooler with a decent fan should be fine in terms of noise.

Noctua NH-U12S. That's the best small one. It's 100% compatible with everything. Silent too.
