Will this CPU Cooler block any PCI Slots on the MOBO?

[Ordinem Lars]

Hi guys,

I've been wanting to assemble a gaming PC for a while now, and I don't want any suprises. Will the cooler that I'll be using block anything on the Motherboard? I want to know this, because I might want to run SLI in the future. I might also want to upgrade the RAM.

These are my what I'll be using

• 
  GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 780 DirectCU II OC
  CASE: Cooler Master Stryker
  MOBO: MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming
  RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1600MHz CL9 DDR3
  COOLER: Noctua NH-D15

Thanks in advance!

-Lars

Total it makes upto 150% of a PCI 3.0 slot.

But It is higher on the ends which gives room for RAM.
So it may fit if you use just single fan, else it will give you problems adjusting your ram and the side fins!
