Quiet air cooler for 5950X that won't clash with my RAM

I currently have a 5800x CPU and my MSI MEG X570 UNIFY motherboard is coming next week but I'm hoping to upgrade to a 5950x in future. So I want to get an air cooler that will work well with that too, to avoid having to faff about buying another cooler and selling the old one if/when I do upgrade.

I normally buy Crucial low profile RAM sticks because they always fit beneath any of the large air coolers but I couldn't do that this time as I needed to get dual rank. I've bought 32GB (2*16GB) Crucial Ballistix BL2K16G36C16U4B, having read posts here and elsewhere that suggest there's at least a reasonable chance this will be dual rank (fingers crossed!). These sticks are a bit higher than the LP sticks though, at around 36mm, which may be a bit tall for some air coolers.

The Noctua NH-D15 might work, as it says "In chassis with more than 165mm CPU cooler clearance, the front fan can be moved upwards to make room for memory modules taller than 32mm" and I'm probably going to use a Define R5 case, which has 180mm CPU clearance.

I'm rather sensitive to noise and the Scythe Fuma 2 does very well at running quietly but sacrifices some cooling ability to achieve that. It appears to be designed with the heatsink offset away from the RAM slots to avoid blocking them, so it might be a good choice but it only seems to be available at the moment for around £80, instead of the £50 it's meant to cost, which affects the value-for-money conclusions in this review.

The ALPENFOHN BROCKEN 3 is about £30 cheaper than the NH-D15 or the Fuma 2 at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be a brilliant cooler, being beaten by both the Hyper 212 BE and the Dark Rock Pro 4 in this test with an i7-7700k, with those two swapping position depending on whether the CPU was running at 4Ghz or 4.5Ghz.

It's been a while since I built my last PC, so there's probably things I'm not even aware of with AM4 in general and the Unify in particular that might make some of these coolers unsuitable and perhaps there are other coolers that I've overlooked that would be more suitable?
 
Yeah, the NH-D15 or the Fuma 2 are probably the only two options that will clear the RAM. I certainly wouldn't want to run without the front fan.

I changed my mind about the CPU and decided to sell my 5800x now, whilst it's still BNIB, and get the 3950x. I got it for £615 and having 16C/32T now makes more sense for me than starting with 8C/16T and hoping that I can get the 5950x at some point in the future for a lot less than the current price of £800+. This way I can forget about upgrading for several years, until AM5 and DDR5 are established and reasonably priced and for the price saving I can live with the fact that the 5950x beats the 3950x in some benchmarks by about 25%.

I found another review of the Fuma 2 which shows that it runs about 3db quieter than the Chromax in the OC default fan profile (1200RPM vs 1500RPM) at a cost of higher temperatures (97c vs 81c). However, that was with a i9-10980XE, which has a TDP of 165W, and the 3950x is only 105W so I think it would be fine with the Fuma 2. https://hardwarecanucks.com/cooling-power/scythe-fuma-2-review/

However, with both coolers running their fans at 1000RPM, the Chromax beats the Fuma 2 in the OC profile by 22c (83c vs 105c) and the acoustics are much closer at that speed (36.5db vs 37.9db), so it probably makes sense to get the Chromax as I can just reduce the fan speed to lower the acoustics to equal, or beat, the Fuma 2 and still provide much better cooling.

In addition, they're both selling for about the same price at the moment but I can get the Chromax delivered tomorrow, whilst the Fuma 2 wouldn't be delivered until May 5-May 14 and all the other components I need are being delivered on Monday and I want to get on and build ASAP, so I'll get the Chromax. Thanks for the suggestion, I wouldn't have considered it if you hadn't mentioned it.
 
Thanks. I decided to get the NH-D15s chromax.black. I've added an extra 120mm Scythe PWM fan on the front and I've mounted it a bit higher to leave plenty of room between it and my Crucial Ballistix RAM (which turned out to be single rank but hey ho) but I can probably lower it so it doesn't even protrude above the heatsink and still leave a gap above the RAM.
 
I decided to get the 3950x in the end. I am going to overclock it and the more effective the heatsink is, the slower and quieter I can run the fans.
