Corsair Dominator Platinum is not compatible with Noctua NH-D15 - best solutions

[ChanceTheRapper]

So be aware guys that  Corsair Dominator Platinum is not compatible with Noctua NH-D15 , i just purchased these and i realized that i couldnt fit them together on my motherboard due to their height ;( I was thinking if i should remove the heatspreader of my RAM , would that make them fit ? Removing the heatspreader will decrease my performances and increase temperatures ?

P.S : I wont remove one of the cooler's fan to fit the RAM

Why not put the cooler's fan on the other side of the heatsink?

 

Or return those Doms and get something that's not overpriced

LIKE THIS ?

It's obvious they won't fit.

Get standard ram or a AIO

I'm not sure what to make of that. Is that how you have it set up?

no , sorry that was just another possible solution . Well your solution is good but i got a 400C and an ASUS MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA and i dont think it will fit

You can always try to see if it fits

 

And if not, you only lose 1-2C from running the D15 single fan. Noctua actually released a revision called the NH-D15S, which has a single fan, better clearance for tall RAM and AICs on the first slot, and only 1C less performance.

Memory heat spreaders are more eye-candy than anything else. The only real reason that you wouldn't want to remove them is that you run the risk of damaging the memory module while removing them, if you aren't careful. Assuming you get them off without damaging the module, you will not notice any difference in performance and the thermals will be very close to modules with heat spreaders. Basically, the only thing you will lose is bling.

Apparently this guy managed to fit Cosair dominator platinum RAM with nh-d15 by removing the heatspreaders and raising up the fan a bit
