can a NH - D15 fit a ....

[Randomguy123]

So im buying a new PC :

i5 8400 

NZXT H500 case

will a Noctua NH-D15 fit in ?

[Spudbilly]

Go to nzxt website and search your case. Under product specifications it will tell you the naximum height allowed for a cpu cooler in mm. Then go to noctua website and look at max height of the cooler. Do the math. Easy googling.

 

I would be more concerned with clearance of cooler over ram modules...the website will tell you that too

 

Also for an i5 8400 a noctua nhd15 is super overkill

[Unimaginative Name]

NZXT's specifications say that CPU cooler clearance is 165mm. Noctua's website states that the cooler height with fans is 165mm. So, not really, officially the cooler probably barely fits, but it may be flush with the side panel, not ideal. For an i5 8400, you can easily go with a smaller cooler. If you still want extremely high performance, look at the be quiet! Dark Rock 4. There are other alternatives, but I'm personally familiar with the be quiet! offering.

picked Dark Rock 3 Pro is it cool ?

2. if i have a i5 8400 will a 1070ti GV-N107TGaming-OC-8GD - GeForce GTX1070Ti 8GB be a bottleneck ?

Overkill...

not in many cases.

Good choice, best 120mm cooler on the market.

Bottlenecks are literally impossible to eliminate unless you have unlimited performance.

 

Neither component will seriously inhibit the other and it's fairly balanced, but games that tax a CPU or GPU particularly hard over the other component may be limited by that component's performance.

CPUs with twice the heat output stay cool with those big dual tower coolers

much better. Good performance, looks and low price at the same time.

you sayin the other ASUS 1070ti TURBo is better ?

because 1070 is slower than 1070ti, and usually worse value.

Gigabyte one is the best among the 3. Asus Turbo suffers from mediocre cooling.

so i guess im pretty set to make the order of this PC right ?

i see there are no bottlenecks ,stableness and good to go

you still need a mobo, ram, storage drive and power supply

might want to get some case fans as well. There's space for 2 extra 140mm or 120mm fan on the front. The other fan mounts already have fans pre-installed

It fits. Specifications err of the side of caution and a perfect fit via specs usually means a few spare mm. That aside, the fans can also be lowered into the NH-D15 which makes it 160mm tall.

Try the stock cooler first. If your ambient isn't very high it's a perfectly acceptable cooler and it means you can spend some money on better performance elsewhere
