Case choice - will it fit?

[landyvlad]

I'm proposing a build spec for a mate, which includes:
AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Processor
MSI MAG X570S Tomahawk Max Wi-Fi Motherboard (this is an ATX board)
Western Digital WD Black 8TB WD8001FZBX 3.5in Hard Drive
Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (2x32GB) 3200MHz CL16 DDR4
Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler

I'm confident that cooler will clear RAM no issue.

My concern is around space for the COOLER.

I'd hate to get a case that the cooler won't fit in.

Cases I am considering are:
be quiet pure base 500 black

fractal design meshify c blackout

fractal design meshify 2 black solid

be quiet silent base 802 black



Thoughts welcome please.

Also the same question as above but with the following cooler:
Deepcool AK620 Dual Tower CPU Cooler
https://global.deepcool.com/product...-High-Performance-CPU-Cooler/2021/13067.shtml
specs for which indicate:
160mm Cooler height compatibility
43mm RAM height clearance

OK so... for future reference I've done some research and managed to find what I think answers my question.
COOLER HEIGHT
Deepcool AK620 Dual Tower CPU Cooler 160mm (with fans)
Noctua NH-D15 CPU Cooler 165mm (with fans)
CASE
Max.construction height of CPU cooler unit (mm)
be quiet pure base 500 black 190mm
fractal design meshify c blackout 172mm
fractal design meshify 2 black solid 185mm
be quiet silent base 802 black 185mm
Seems either of the two coolers will fit in all 4 of those cases

Thanks @MoNkeE good info

@Drumroll not sure what you are betting at there. Torrent? And I don't really understand the meaning of your sentence as a whole...

 

[landyvlad]

So you're recommending a more expensive case for what reason? (as opposed to the ones I've mentioned).

 

[landyvlad]

AH Ok I see what you are getting at now, cheers.

You say it comes with all fans needed but there's no rear fan - are you saying that none is required?

Yep looks like a nice case, Only downside I can see is lack of filters so probably would suck in a lot of dust.
