Hi

I have a query

I am planning to use Noctua NH-D15S CPU cooler on a "Lian Li LANCOOL Mesh II Performance" Case, can someone let me know if the clearance is good enough for this case

I have the cooler, this query was aimed at someone who probably would know this on already

No problem I was not being ignorant as I have looked it up for my PC cases in past but do not own a Lian Li, pretty sure they also give you Mobo/Ram clearances etc.

Yes indeed they did that . Again thank you for your help

Should be fine, as you already know. The NH-D15 I would be curious, as the outer fan seats quite high compared tom the other fan and tower.

Based on Noctua Website , the case is compatible

I know the cooler the OP mentioned has only one fan.
Quite a while ago tried the D15, but just looking at reviews, was surprised that the outer fan won't allow the side panel to close. Quite a distance from the rest of the cooler, which wasn't only a dimension issue but aesthetically painful to see.
I know that the second fan won't be a game changer, only allowing very few degrees better performance, but sure that was a surprise. And none of the reviews gave emphasis on that, how the second fan would drastically increase the dimensions of the cooler, from a tight fit to a too big for the case.

Yeah true that, the nf-a15 fans are thicker, that cooler also had issues with taller memory, hence i went for this as it give bit better compatibility when it comes to memory

The D15S is primarily designed to avoid blocking the top PCI-E 16x slot on many Mobos as it is offset, before I had one I used to have use the next slot down which 16x Electric Chipset Slot not CPU slot so not ideal.

From what i read , they made the D15S for the better RAM clearance , also the S means Single Fan compared to 2 . However if you add the 2nd Fan , it performs exactly the same as D15
