What motherboards fit the NH-D15? I'm using an Intel i7 4700 (not planing on overclocking) Under £200 would be nice.I
 
Solution
Any motherboard can fit that cooler. The important question is, whether your case can fit it, and whether your RAM units are short enough to accommodate it.
Since you have a locked CPU which you cannot overclock conventionally, I would recommend the Cryorig H7. Its a very good unit and should keep the processor plenty cool. It can fit on any board and in most cases and should not obstruct your RAM modules as well.

I guess it is 4770 non k? If so, this mb should do well:

If it is unlocked 4770k, get this:

Even if you don't want to overclock now, I recommend Z97 mb. In a few years, you may change your mind and overclocking can squeeze more out of your current rig so that you can postpone upgrading :) overclocking with caution will not damage cpu, and that is what unlocked cpu is designed for.
