-Moved to CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory-

 

The NH-D15 is a pretty beefy cooler. RAM blocking depends mostly on what RAM you have, higher profile DIMMs tend to be more susceptible to blocking coolers.

Isn't that RAM made for AMD Ryzen, or am I mistaken. 

 

The heat spreaders on those RAM modules are 40mm high, and the NH D15 only has 32mm of clearance for RAM unless you remove the second fan:

first of thanks for your help,

but well, I wanted to check if this adds up but I can't find the distance between the CPU socket and the RAM slots anywhere, maybe you have better luck or know a website where it might be.

The distance is pretty standard for an ATX motherboard with 4 RAM slots.
