Hello, I have a Fractal Design define r6 case, and I was wondering if the Noctua NH-D15 will fit with my other components or do I have to "downgrade" to NH-D15s.
My GPU is a Powercolor 5700xt Red Devil,
my RAM's are Corsair Vengeance Led 16gb (2x8gb) 3200mzh cl16,
and my motherboard is Asus Maximus x Hero.
 
Solution
Fractal Design define R6 max air cooler height: 185mm
Motherboard: https://ncc.noctua.at/motherboards/model/ASUS-ROG-Maximus-X-Hero-3177
Corsair Vengeance LED height: 49mm tall.
NH-D15: 165mm, with front fan supporting only low profile ram(31mm max) in this position. Fan can be raised to accommodate taller modules - to a point, but I don't see where that limit is.
[I know 11mm more is fine, because of G. Skill Ripjaws V at 42mm, but Vengeance LED is another 7mm taller than that.]


Simpler to just do pull-pull, than the push-push that is seen in pictures everywhere.
