CPU Cooler, RAM and Case Combo

[Kiwi00000]

Hello,

 

I am looking at getting an Fractal R5 case, 16GB G.Skill Ripjaw (2 x 8GB Sticks) and a Noctua NH-D15 and placing it on a Z170 ASUS Pro Gaming motherboard.

 

I have looked at the documentation and it seems that I should be OK with the clearance for the D15 and the case. But the RAM vs the D15 is where I want conformation that I am doing things correctly.

 

From what I can see, it will be a tight squeeze but should be doable with about 8mm spare clearance from the D15 and the case with the fan raised up to make room for the RAM.

 

Can anyone confirm this.

 

Please and Thanks,

Kiwi.

Any people want to confirm this?

High RAM compatibility in single fan mode
Thanks to its recessed lower fins, the NH-D15 provides 64mm clearance for tall memory heatsinks in single fan mode, making it compatible with most high end RAM modules on the market. In dual fan mode, the NH-D15 should be used with standard height RAM (up to 32mm).
