Will it fit and good cooling ?

Will 2-3 Noctua A15 fans fit on a phanteks14pe? On a XL R2 Case, will it block the way of a gskill ares(low profile ram) or the graphics card nvidia gtx 780,770 or a radeon 7970?

 

will it block anything cause i heard noctua a15 can block it.

 

 

Also will it cool the amd 8350 good? I will overclock the cpu to about 4.4-4.5ghz and 10% OC on a graphics card, (possibly a asus 7970 platnium)

 

 

thanks

the A15s wouldn't work as a case fan they are designed for heatsinks. The fan may block the gpu, but I imagine if you are using atx it may just come close to the gpu. As for mounting the fan on the cooler it has a standard 140mm mount so it would be fine.

Atx motherboard, with smaller motherboards like m-atx where the graphics card would be closer to the cooler it might be an issue.

nvm im getting the ASUS CROSS HAIR formula z amd motherboard would the phanteks 14pe with 2-3 noctua a15 fans work also? and is g skill sniper series a low profile ram since phanteks are big and might get in the problem with the ram. so is it good with the ram and gpu? thanks so will the asus crosshair formula z also work?

First I want to say I messed after looking into this deeper I found out that the A15 has too small of mounting to fit, instead you will need the NF-A14 fan. The cross hair formula z will also work. the G.Skill sniper ram is about 2mm too tall, but if you raise the front fan slightly higher up the heatsink(cooler) it will fit.

The NF-A15 is a premium quality quiet 140mm fan with a round frame that complies with Noctua’s AAO (Advanced Acoustic Optimisation) standard. The NF-A15’s frame features 120mm mounting holes

What he is saying is that the Noctua nf-A15 has 120mm mounting holes, while the phanteks cooler features 140mm mounting holes so the fan would be incompatible with the cooler. The compatible fan would be the NF-A14 fan since its a 140mm fan with 140mm mounting holes, but its still an improvement over the stock fans. Also the stock backplate means the backplate that you would use with the stock cooler that comes with your cpu,.

I watched the video and he said that the thermalright fans are 140mm with 120mm mounting holes.

The stylish octagon frame fits 120mm mounting holes. The fans are specifically designed to overcome high static pressure, zero

I'm sorry I must skipped over that when I was on the website earlier. If it does have 120mm mounting then you will be fine using the NF-A15.
