Fine folk of OC land, please can you help a damsel in distress- my sister

She has a 9900k, 2080ti all on custom water loop but it has been leaking constantly recently and she is wanting to go back to air for both cpu & GPU
Motherboard is Asus Maximus XI formula with 4 sticks of Corsair Vengence RGB ram sticks and want a nice beefy air cooler as it is oc to 5GHZ
Would a Noctua NH-D15 fit her moboo & ram as case is a Corsair 680x and has enouugh height clearence for one
Not really looking for an AIO at this time as want to go caveman

Thx for your help in this

Just found some vengeance low profile ram so should work

case is still the Corsair 680x as stated in original posting

Noctua should fit as is 67.5mm from centre- 93.5mm with fan and with low profile ram it should fit as only 26.25mm
