[SOLVED] Will Noctua NH-D15 fit in my case?

[Spagooti.]

I have a Rosewill Zircon M ATX Mid Tower case and I'm looking to get a new CPU cooler. I want to get an NH-D15, but I'm worried that it won't fit in my case. Can anyone out there help me out? Thanks.

Depending on the model of your ram, in the worst case, you may have to remove the front fan entirely.

Naked ram has a height of 31mm. The NH-D15's front fan will sit comfortably on top of the first stick.
Using memory with heatspreaders will force the front fan to be raised for each millimeter over the standard.

Too soon to say that without considering what the OP's ram might be.

From Rosewill's website specifications https://www.rosewill.com/product/zircon-m-atx-mid-tower/

Max CPU Cooler Height Allowance 170 mm

From Noctuas website https://noctua.at/en/nh-d15/specification

Height (with fan)165 mm



So yes it will work.

As long as its not major he can simply move the fan up a little bit on the cooler, I had to do that with my RAM. Or he can move the fan to the rear and pull air through, or buy one of the thin fans.
