DDR4 ram for noctua nh-d15 cooler

TheMadHatter · 26 Jan 2018 at 19:46

Ive been looking at the team group vulcan and the team group dark pro ddr4 memory but will either of these be compatible to fit under the Noctua nh-d15 cooler

Well the vulcan is about as low as you'll get unless you remove the heat spreader.

It's only about 3mm higher than the PCB if my memory serves me correctly (haha accidental pun!).

Thanks mattyfez

Although look here you can move the front fan up a bit if your case allows, for more clearance

I have the DH15 and the TeamGroup 8Pack Dark pro and it fits fine. I think I had to raise the fan up a smidge just to make sure there was a gap but it's not rizzla tight.

My case is the fractal design r6

Doesn't Noctua also make an NHD15 that has "slanted" heatpipes allowing compatibility with all RAM?

VULCAN ram fits bud.

I have NH15 and using some Crucial Ballistix leaves so much clearance you could drive a bus through it.

Corsair LPX is ok also.
