[SOLVED] Noctua-D15h in a Rosewill S500 case

[Stark3000]

Hey all,

The title is pretty self explanatory for what I'm asking. Can a Noctua-D15h fit in a Rosewill S500 case? I'm trying to cool an I7-8700k and OC it and I want to use this cooler for it, but it's hard to find any info whether this Rosewill case will fit it. Ive measured from the cpu socket to the edge of the case and it's just at 165mm. Thanks

The Rosewill S500 supports cooler up to 160mm tall.

The Noctua NHD15 is 165mm tall, so it will not fit with the side panel on.

Oh dang ok. Is there any other cooler (air or AIO) that would fit that would offer close to the cooling potential that the D15 has? I'm really trying to shoot for an OC of 4.8-5GHZ and just want to find the best option for what I have.

A lot of heatpipes and cools close to as well as the D15.

The U12S is only 158mm high.

Would this be enough for OCing the 8700k? I'm just trying to gauge whether that U12S would be good enough or if I should go for a Dark Rock Pro 4.

The be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 is 162mm high so it will not fit.

The U12 is enough for an overclocked 8700k
