Z370 Gaming 7?

 

I havent heard of that problem. At worst, you need to use the second PCIe slot.

I saw some people saying that there was problems with mounting the nh d15 on the aorus 7 gaming motherboard and stuff like it would block gpu's and some people managed to mount at 90°. Can the NH D15 really not fit on the motherboard

It's a big cooler so it usually hangs over some of the memory slots and the top PCIe slot.

 

Most motherboards have their main PCIe slot for GPUs in the second position in part because of this. As for memory, it's no problem so long as you get a kit without tall heatspreaders. Those heatspreaders have no function anyway.

Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT has a much better clearance than D15 with same performance by some reviews I read..
