Case Compatability question for NH-D15 and D14

[Matt7485]

Hey,

 

My current case is carbide 200R(windowed)  and i was wondering which of the 2 would fit in my case, i'm really confused because the corsair website specifies a max CPU Cooler height of 165mm but most review sites i look at state it as being ~160mm also does this spec change between the windowed and non- windowed version of the case :S?? 

 

Thanks

The Noctua D15 won't fit, it has a height of 165mm while the corsair 200R has clearance for only 160mm.

But I D14 should fit as it is only 160mm.

thanks, so then why does corsair say 165mm on it's website also what sort of a performance difference is there between the NH d14 and the NH d15?

The 200r has 165mm of clearance and the NH-D15 would fit.

Thanks, so then practically speaking is this clearance goin to result in the tower touching the side panel??

Possibly.
