Hello everyone,
I recently got the Noctua NH D15 and am looking forward to excellent cooling performance. However, I have one concern given its sheer size that it may not be compatible with the RAM I'm looking at, the G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB. I've heard that you can raise the cooler higher to give yourself more clearance, but I'm not sure if I can do that with my case, the Crystal 570X.
Looking at the specs, the clearance (in dual fan mode) is about 32 mm, with about 10mm increase possible if raised (but would this work with my case?). I'm not sure how large the G.Skills are.
The people on this forum: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/851862-will-the-noctua-nh-d15-fit-ram-clearance/ say that it will definitely fit, but the numbers just seem odd to me given how short 32 mm is. Given my case and cooler, would the G.Skills work?
