yeah it will. also check Dark Rock Pro 3. They are more quite too but Noctua has far better temperatures

[R3DOPS]

i use a hype 212 evo and when its full rpm i cannot hear it 

[Morsher]

Aight. Let's say my budget is ~ 80 bucks. I want silent and cold cooler. Still Noctua?

[Morsher]

Will Noctua NH D15 fit in Fractal Designe R5? And also will it not mess with RAM?

Noctua might get in the way of rams, depend on which one

If not Dark Rock Pro. See if Noctua fits your budget

What do you mean? Like im JB.
Will it not mess with Kingston Hyperx Fury? You wanted specific RAM?

It might not fit 

Size of your RAM: Height 1.291” (32.80mm) w/heatsink

Though dual fan would provide better cooling

 

Same goes to Dark Rock Pro 3. 

 

So uhm try and remove the heatspreader?

You should check out any of these 3 coolers:

 

Noctua DH-15 (best one here, but ugly af)

Cryorig R1 Ultimate (or R1 universal if you have taller RAM)

Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 (Be Quiet! is all about staying quiet, so you can expect good things here)

 

I also feel like its worth mentioning the Cooler Master V8 GTS and/or the MasterAir Maker8 (although this one is quite pricey) if you are interested in a black/red aesthetic. they're massive, have great cooling, and look pretty cool. not sure about acoustics though. Any of the first 3 options would be ideal for your request of a decent OC and minimal noise. Its worth noting that all of them will require very low profile RAM (something like Corsair Vengeance LPX) or come with adjustable fan heights to compensate for slightly taller RAM. If you want tall RAM like Dominators, you may consider the R1 Universal which offers slightly less cooling than the R1 Ultimate (slimmer fan on the front) but does not overhang the RAM slots as a result.


If your only goal is performance+noise/cost, then the DH-15 is what you should get, but if you care about aesthetics and are willing to take minimal hits to the first 2 points, then either the R1 Ultimate or Dark Rock Pro 3 would be more ideal for you.

I got some beautiful low profile RAM guys.
I think it fits with NH D15.

I sacrifice aesthetics to compatibility and silence. Thank you all for replies.

Fury ram fits just fine. The fans can be mounted higher up or lower depending on preference.

This is standard profile ram.

I don't think so. Lower than that i couldn't find.

Here's actual low profile ram.

 

The ram you're probably used to seeing with heatsinks are usually a standard height pcb with an additional heatsink resulting in high profile ram.
